[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Secondly, Jefferson needs to attract a critical mass of strong students. [/quote] and [quote]Perhaps letting Jefferson become a DCPS charter could be a good thing. [/quote] I don't disagree with anything you wrote, but these two things seem to be mutually exclusive, or at least it's difficult for them to co-exist. Unless current law is changes, the student body at a charter school is pure luck of the draw. The middle schools in DC that perform well (such as they are) do so in large part because their catchment areas include families who value and prioritize education, are often highly educated themselves, and don't have to combat generational, crushing poverty. Charters don't have those advantages. [/quote] ITA, and, with that thought in mind, if every child in boundary for Hardy actually attended the school, it would likely exceed the performance of Deal.[/quote]
