[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason you think it's too big of a switch for WOTP families is because the Roosevelt building is located in a neighborhood that is majority AA.  However, I'm not pitching the DC-CAS proficient HS idea to WOTP families.

There are quite enough involved EOTP parents of all races and incomes to populate a high school.  That's really the issue EOTP---that while in the aggregate you have enough motivated engaged students (and families) to create another decently performing HS, [b]you do not have enough of those families concentrated in any one EOTP HS boundary-area in sufficient numbers to make a qualitative performance difference.[/b]  So lump all those kids (and their families) together at one DC-CAS proficient MS/HS.

I don't think that's true.  Maybe not at this point in time, but you certainly would in the next 6 - 10 years.  There's more and more turnover EOTP from older households to younger families and all these kids will need a middle school and a high school.  Roosevelt/MacFarland are easily accessible from Petworth Metro

Thank you, Jeff, for starting this thread.
