[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a bad situation and no one knows how to fix it. Yeah yeah yeah, I know -- if you just got inbound families to buy in, it would change. But you can't get a critical mass of IB families to buy in. Trust me, we have these conversations all the time. [/quote]

If D.C. was really interested in attracting high performing in-boundary students, they could guarantee rigorous test-in only classes. Only 3 students test in? Then there are 3 students in the class. You don't fill the class with 20 other students who couldn't test in and then turn it into an easier class to accommodate them.

It's screwed up that the school is only 67% out of boundary, and D.C. seems to have no interest in actually meeting the needs of many of the in-boundary families.[/quote]

Our inbound school is Dunbar. They don’t even offer AP Calc AB, a minimum bar for selective (let alone highly selective) colleges. Consequently, that school can’t even be in the consideration set. Though by the time it becomes an issue for us, they may have had to close the school down due to under enrollment. [/quote]
