[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's ridiculous is a "neighborhood elementary school" and "neighborhood middle school" that can't attract and retain the great majority of neighborhood families with kids ages 6-15 nearly 40 years after they were set up as neighborhood schools.

The several Cluster schools were established to offer an attractive alternative to other, lesser public schools on Capitol Hill.  But two of them still don't offer a high quality education, so they can't compete with a number of charters.

Blaming parents for failing buy a product they have good reason to consider substandard [b]gets the neighborhood nowhere.[/b] Tailor the product to the local consumer and lo and behold, find a strong market for it.

One more time. Isn't the IB enrollment at Watkins increasing anyway?[/quote]

[b]No. It hovers between 25 and 30%. [/b][/quote]

Oh. Upthread someone said [i]It's IB rate was %30 last year, up from %21 two years ago.[/i]

Different numbers, different stories. Before people get hung up on their narratives, I think agreement on the numbers is necessary.[/quote]

"Hovers" is BS.  it's trending up whether you like it or not. That 30% was also at EH in swing space fwiw.  It hasn't been anywhere near 30% in recent years.[/quote]
