[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably a dumb question, but I'm new here and going to ask it anyway, why is their more neighborhood buy-in for CH DCPS elementary schools? Why are politicians able to meet the needs at the elementary school levels (assuming they are being met)? [/quote]

Here's the problem:

There are [b]a few elementary schools with high IB buy-in (Ludlow, Brent, Maury).  There are a few middle schools with low IB buy in (Watkins, JO, Miner, Amidon, [/b]etc.).  DCPS feeds the schools with high IB buy-in to three different middle schools, so it's impossible to get a traction/high IB buy in at a middle school. Add to that, Cap Hill does not have an acceptable high school, and parents have other options that are 5-12 (BASIS, Latin, DCI).

We could probably have a Deal/JR level middle/high school situation within 5 years, but DCPS refuses to fix the Hill situation, and our Councilmember is useless. [/quote]

https://dme.dc.gov/page/download-data has a lot of data about in-boundary enrollment, for those who are interested. [/quote]
