[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True. Kaya and DCPS are too ignorant and provincial to look to our close by neighbors for models that work.[quote]

Yea, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer to avoid replicating what Southeastern MoCo/Downcounty Consortium schools do to cater to a highly diverse group of students and parents.  Rockville, Bethesda and Potomac schools are less than 10% FARMS and AA, but Takoma Park is 1/4 for both, and Silver Spring schools are nearly 1/2 low-SES Latino.  Even so, upper-middle-class families in the Consortium catchment area are disclined to run off to privates or charters, and high-SES Hill parents are still inclined to run off to Southeastern MoCo.

I see SH as becoming the preserve of a few Cluster die-hards, high-SES parents who strike out in charter lotteries, and low-SES parents who who don't enter.  Not a pretty picture in the years to come.  I hope DCPS follows through on fixing up the building at any rate, to give Stanton Park neighborhood property values a little boost.  Looks more like a correctional facility than a MS.
