The problem is that DCPS schools are only as food as the number of UMC families they attract. OA will always be better Mcfarannbecasue all the feeders into McFalrand losenmost ofntheie IMC families by 2nd grade. We are one of those families. Literally [quote]sharing the wealth of those families[/quote] will help McFarland.[/quote]

Maybe this isn't what you are saying, but it sounds like many people in this thread think that re-zoning UMC families into failing schools will cause those families to attend those schools and make them better.  This is silly, as you say about McFarland --- UMC families leave by second grade because they have options.  Until there's an attractive offering that attracts a critical mass of UMC families, it isn't going to happen.[/quote]

Well I thought UMC families loved dual language programs? Isn't this the reason Powell is what it is today? BMPV not so much but may get there because there isn't room in the lottery for everybody.[/quote]
