At risk is highly correlated with behavior problems and poor academic performance. It’s not the fault of the kids of course, but to think you can just plunk them in a different school and they’ll be a-ok is pie in the sky thinking. If all it took was a well resourced school, we could improve all the Ward 8 schools tomorrow. [/quote]

Every single word here is spot on.[/quote]

Sorry, my mistake (I mean I like my originally quoted text too)' but this was the spot on stuff:

As others have said DC is already nearly 50% at-risk

Multiple studies have shown school starts to go down hill at only 20% at-risk and by 40%+ at-risk it is very hard to get any kind of results without going to some sort of highly structure disciplined model ala KIPP/DC Prep.

Since DC is 50% risk making every school 50% at-risk accomplishes nothing

The non high at-risk areas need to be left alone and for areas that are high at-risk like EOTR the KIPP DC PREP model should be adopted by everyone. Frankly from a resource standpoint I would just turn over the entire system EOTR do DC Prep and KIPP. As it stands now no DCPS public middle or high school EOTR is successful at all. They are giant money pits. At the very least there needs to be more consolidation instead of spending millions on schools with less than 300 or even 200 students.[/quote]
