[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right now DCPS is spending tens of millions on school modernizations for high schools like Dunbar and Cardozo and Woodson and Coolidge and the grade level percentiles are still in the 30th percent range. . . [/quote] And? The students who attend there are largely coming from poor families. Did you expect that a new school building was all that was needed to fix the issues associated with poverty? Would you prefer to warehouse poor students in a crappy building? I'd rather spend our DC money on buildings that my less fortunate DC neighbors use than on buildings that MD / VA people use. Now if MD & VA want to renovate Ellington, I'd be fine with that.[/quote]
