[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coolidge is a whole other kind of mess -- the feeders will go into the career programs. '

The early college will be application only -- so a college bound neighborhood kid will not have an IB 'regular' high school option. DCPS seems fine with telling them to just lottery into another school.

But anyway -- the first step for Shaw parents is to change Ross' feed to Cardozo, not give them an exit ramp to SWW @ FS.

Then work on your elementary schools and high school. MS is just the excuse for people leaving at 3rd or 4th. The high school is the big issue.[/quote]

The Coolidge career programs will suck, because the middle school will suck, because there is no plan to make it not suck.

Ross parents would never tolerate that.

Call me crazy but I think if people can get Stuart-Hobson to a borderline acceptable place, it can happen elsewhere too.  High school is more difficult.[/quote]

Ross, together with Thomson were given feeder rights to School Without Walls at Francis-Stevens as part of the DME's boundary review process in 2014. Designed as a place holder until Shaw MS reopens. Can't see DCPS changing this until they have a MS in place. Francis-Stevens could shift back to an ES model also. A MS at the current Banneker building with feeds from Ross, Thomson, Francis, Seaton, Garrison and Cleveland would be an option. Timeframe would not be less than 5-6 years given Banneker's move to Shaw and the need to modernize Banneker. A lot changes in that time.[/quote]
