[quote=Anonymous]NP. The snarky post above is darn unfair. WotP DCPS schools aren't in gentrifying neighborhoods. Those schools have been primarily serving their overwhelmingly high SES and white communities for several decades. It's unreasonable compare the performance of up and coming DCPS schools like Ross, Maury and Brent (which have supported majority in-boundary student bodies for only 2-5 years) with much better established schools like Key, Mann, Janney, Murch and Lafayette. It takes years and years for a DCPS teaching staff to mature and gel, strong school programs and systems to be developed, funds to be secured for renovations, good facilities and leadership to be established etc. Demographics are only around half the story. Even if SH's demographics were to mirror Deal's tomorrow, the former wouldn't be anywhere near as high-performing as the latter.[/quote]
