[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the problem with any new middle school option in Ward 5--they won't attract a wide variety of parents in my view because There are no high performing DCPS elementary schools in Ward 5.  Parents who view the elementary feeders unfavorably in Ward 5 are unlikely to suddenly trust a new DCPS middle school option in Ward 5 when all they see during the building block phase is limited proficiency.  The 2nd problem is that DCPS is surrounded by charters in Ward 5 that are already more diverse that plan on going through middle.

Brookland @ Bunker Hill 37% proficiency
Burroughs 54%
Langdon 56%
Noyes 32%[/quote]

You might be right in everything that you have stated.  However, does that mean that DCPS should not try for a high level MS in Ward 5.  My child attends one of those language immersion charters and he is absolutley brilliant in math.  If Mckinley MS pulled off a high achieving math and science Deal-like MS, I would transfer my child in a heartbeat.  None of the charters in Ward 5 have yet to prove that they are MS ready and capable.  [/quote]
