[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker is a dump. They want to pull families away from Wilson and SWW (which is full to the brim and turns away kids each year who pass the test and are on the wait list).

Banneker's current space doesn't allow for much outside of academics (fields, etc); the new Shaw space theoretically would.

The new location with better facilities could help drive demand, but I noticed that that there was a short waitlist for Banneker and the school is not at capacity. So what is the urgency?  Is there some cohort of high performing kids that are about to erupt out of DCPS middle schools?  [/quote]

They want to pull high performers out of charters, and to entice people to leave Wilson, or at least stop doing all the desperate things they are doing now to get into that feeder pattern, including cheating via rental apartments.

I think the hope is that they reduce Wilson overcrowding via carrots, rather than imposing it by moving all the boundaries eastward.[/quote]
