[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The organizing principle of DCPS schools is neighborhoods, and then we don't preserve that quality?  Just slowly expand the boundary to get more kids if there are losses after the lottery.

Look, I grew up as the poor kid with an alcoholic single mom in the shitty apartments despised by the neighbors.  Ended up valedictorian at my public high school and then crushed the private school kids at the Ivy League school I attended.  I'm happy to include everyone in boundary including housing projects that others might  be snobby about.  But why not preserve neighborhoods?  It is so weird that neighborhoods aren't all in behind their neighborhood schools. Even Northwest is constantly hedging their local schools against fancy private schools.

why don't you ask families ofthe 42% of all ECE and K-12 public ed student DC who attend charter schools? Or the families of the 74% of overall public ed students who do not attend their assigned public school?[/quote]
