[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About the idea of a test-in academy plus a general program: that's what worked for Wilson, no? I do think it would be essential to rename/rebrand this proposed HS. It's not just the alumni who are a barrier to change; it's the reputation. General perceptions about existing schools are slow to change.[/quote] THIS. If I had my way, I would change the names of most of the high schools to reflect their community. What does "Roosevelt" mean to a ninth grader or a parent? Nothing good, I'll tell you that. Keep Teddy and "Rough Riders" as a mascot but "Petworth High School" would be a chance for a fresh start.[/quote] Not going to happen. As any other jurisdiction done this? Or state for that matter. [/quote] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/17/us/florida-school-name-change/[/url] This is a wacko example, but a HS name change has been done recently.[/quote]
