[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree that the build and they will come mentality of DCPS is a mess.  Too many new schools, half capacity and still shitty scores and same bahviaorl issues. Hello Dunbar!  Brookland Middle could still attract some Petworth and Park View families but just not enough.  McFarland might have a chance if they carve out the dual language portion an turn it into an academy that requires some background in the language or a test in/magnent school within a school.  We do not need another new middle in Ward 4. [/quote]

I agree with this.  My kids go to LAMB, but McFarland is our neighborhood middle school.  Our intended path is to DCI, but who knows.  I have posted this before, but I would be willing to consider the McFarland language program, [b]if my children could test in.  Since this is my by-right middle school, I believe my children should have the ability to participate in any aspect of the program, IF they are qualified and can pass a test to participate[/b].  I want them to continue the Spanish language emphasis, so wouldn't want to attend the non-language program at McFarland.  But I would consider the language program.  This seems to be a way to build some more buy-in to the program.  [/quote]

I think this is still an open question - last I heard that it would only be for kids who came out of the DCPS feeders or at that they would have priority for seats - does anyone know? [/quote]
