[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, your crime map link shows crimes committed west of Georgia Ave, in 16th St Heights. You might want to get a clue about geography.

And oops, you're posting data on schools west of Georgia, too.

I'm in Petworth, in bounds for Powell, and I agree that the school's scores are bad. I've also met the campus & cluster principals, both of whom are working like dogs to improve the school. I'm still not sending my kids there, largely because I got lucky in charter lotteries early on, but I would have been ok with it for PS3 & PK.

Participating in public education while living in Petworth requires patience, a lack of prejudice, perseverence or luck, sometimes all four. And yet there are many of us who do it. Please stop telling me that my friends & I don't exist.[/quote]

The problen is the Indigenous population. Until they move out or kill themselves off the dcps in those poor indigenous areas will never get to a passing level of 60 to 70 percent test scores let alone the fcps or Montgomery averages of 90%+. Dc should be pushing these people out not enabling them. [/quote]
