[quote=Anonymous]Banneker is great - but soon we will be hearing about smart kids who didn’t place there either. It’s also also very different from SWW. This is good - not every school should be the same.

McA is good, I suppose, though it’s strangely located in an area with an abundance of public and private choices, which is inaccessible to most of the city.

And if the big neighborhood high schools are under enrolled, get creative. Start some new programs that share the buildings.

We need more high performing HS options in more parts of DC!

Seems like with all the walls rejections of highly qualified kids DCPS could easily replicate the experience you describe at another campus or two.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes abundantly clear that DC is operating in a scarcity mindset when it comes to high-achieving high schools. We need to transition to an abundance mindset. We need  more academically challenging HS programs. Perhaps they should make another Walls campus (or two).[/quote]

No.  This is not it at all.  Dcps is all about offering “challenging” classes to kids who are ill prepared.  The problem
Is that dcps does not like to let a critical mass of high performers cluster at one school.  As it is there are not enough students prepared for what dcps wants to offer.  These kids try to congregate at a place like walls and dcps does its best to dilute.  [/quote][/quote]

It's called MacArthur.

Maybe the year Latin Cooper offers 9th grade will be a little easier. Sigh.[/quote]

Umm....I wonder if there is a school with a new building on 9th St NW that can accommodate 2x the students that SWW can...[/quote]

Yeah Banneker is our kid’s second choice, followed by J-R.

I wonder how this weekend’s SWW interviews went….[/quote][/quote]
