[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a believer in neighborhood schools and love to see families engaged in rejuvenating their IB school.  That said, I think more of them need to close.  It would be fiscally irresponsible to renovate both Jefferson and EH - there is too much MS capacity (granted not enough high-quality capacity).  With dollars spread over fewer middle schools, DCPS would better be able to improve quality.  Nobody wants to see their close-to-them MS school be closed, but at the same time, we all want a high quality MS.  There are some hard choices to be made.  Ten years ago, I was told the MS issue on CH would be fixed - had Latin and BASIS not opened, maybe this would be the case.  But now 10 years later, I'm faced with not having a neighborhood MS option that I'm comfortable with for my kid.  I sure wish some hard choices had been made years ago.[/quote]

Isn't the issue that neither EH or Jefferson is large enough (paired with SH) to hold all of the students?[/quote]
