[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I think you are way underestimating the potential number of students who would excel at a school like TJ right here in the district. You need to get out more.   :roll: [/quote]

I've lived here longer than you have, and I'm out a lot, thanks.

I considered objective, national data points such as national merit commendations, SAT scores, Siemens  or Intel science finalists and presidential scholars.   There are a whopping 15  winners every year from a public HS in the district, and another few dozen kids who live in DC and attend GDS, Sidwell and sta/Ncs.

The embarrassing SAT score situation at banneker and sww has already been discussed at length, so I won't beat them up further.

Where do you believe these thousands of genius middle schoolers are hiding in the District? Seriously. Put up or shut up. Tell us: where?

Such a schools would not need thousands to be successful at all. It could be successful with a few hundred. [b]Then you forget about all of the people moving into DC.[/quote][/b]

DINKS. Thats who's moving into all these 900 square feet condos. [/quote]

Umm. We have a family and we live in less than 800 square feet. I know other families living in about the same. :roll: [/quote]

You have high school students in DC residing in less than 800 sq feet. If this is true, you are not one of the high HHI families that PP were talking about as new residents to the city. You must be low income, or poor, if you are putting your high school kids in such cramped quarters. I understand babies, toddlers, and elementary age kids, but not high school. [/quote]

That's a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment.  Plenty for a family with one kid.[/quote]
