[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seaton, Garrison, Cleveland, Ross, and Thompson together could make a good middle school happen.  I don't know why people aren't more interested.[/quote]

Sigh. This coming from someone outside these school communities, I'm sure. Because guess what? Parents in these schools DID band together to try to make it happen and have gotten NOWHERE with DCPS over the course of years. [/quote]

Up until recently, only Ross (and maybe Thomson) have been doing well in terms of test scores. It's arguable whether Garrison and Cleveland can be considered strong enough to contribute to a viable cohort for a good middle school.  Seaton has not always been considered a strong school even if it may be desirable now and for last 2 or 3 years.  In other words, there may be a will to make this happen now but it wasn't always the case.  I don't see any traction for this, especially when Ross, Thomson, and SWW-FS, makes for a much stronger feeder for MS than Seaton, Garrison, Cleveland, Ross, and Thomson going to a Shaw MS.[/quote]
