[quote=Anonymous]Not sure any collective action needs to happen.  The advice above that folks could just try their IB middle school at 6th grade (if they don't get into a charter they want for fifth, or just on general principal, or because those other schools aren't a good fit) and give it a shot.  Maybe it will work!  If it doesn't, try something else.

I agree with folks that things change faster than you can imagine.  Brent was on the list to close because of low enrollment-- and it was like 80% out of boundary just 8 years ago.  It is entirely possible that Jefferson and EH will be completely different places than they are now.

Now would it have been better if DCPS had focused on developing middle schools before renovation Eastern?  Maybe, but that ship has sailed.  And maybe eastern really did need the renovation and couldn't wait any longer.  And wasn't it the chancellor that admitted charters just do middle schools better than DCPS?  Maybe DCPS can learn from the successes (and Mis steps) of Latin and Basis and is now ready at this point to do middle school right.  Just in time as those schools are becoming very difficult to get into!  [/quote]
