[quote=Anonymous]I think it would make sense to take these controversial insights into class, race, and educational achievement back to the question that started this thread: How do we get (a) top-notch middle school(s) in Ward 6? Wouldn't a large, diverse, well-run middle school, which offers high academics as well as a broad range of specials and enrichment, housed in a nice building and well connected to the community supporting and overseeing it be the answer? Besides size, I think community connections matter. I don't have much to go by but imagine that the especially difficult MS years (as stated in today's WP article here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/dc-parents-raise-concerns-about-middle-schools/2011/09/23/gIQAeTqOxK_story.html) can be weathered more successfully in the midst of a well connected community with watchful eyes overseeing and checking in on our youth.[/quote]
