[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ Ah, take a look around you. The neighborhood is looking awfully high-SES. Those people tend to have higher expectations, they pay more taxes, and they expect some bang for the buck. Right now they're paying for an empty shell (as far as the 'hood is concerned). That's a problem that needs correcting. [/quote]

Sigh..... I'd get all the "Ludlow is terrible" statements if Ludlow was in fact a really low performing school. But LT and Maury are basically identical in terms of performance (well actually Ludlow has more advanced students).  I guarantee you if Ludlowhad the same IB rates as Maury  then suddenly it would become an 2nd tier, it school. [/quote]

You don't have buy in from a lot of the neighborhood, yet.  Hopefully that'll happen ASAP with the new principal.  Don't you want a neighborhood school?  Are you even IB to L-T, or just trolling?[/quote]

Different poster, but I really don't give a damn about "neighborhood schools." In a city with the residential segregation of the district (both racial and economic), I just don't think they make sense.[/quote]

but did the old approach of not emphasizing neighborhood schoolls get you integrated schools? Or just families goiing to privates and the suburbs?

Wouldn't a reasonable proportion of OOB (20%?) combined with more attention to inclusionary zoning to get better SES residential integration be more likely to succeed in getting integrated schools, while also getting the benefits of neighborhood schools? [/quote]
