[quote=Anonymous]If you kicked MtP out of the Deal/Wilson feeder, then they effectively wouldn't have a high school---as CHEC is bilingual. Even if it weren't, MtP parents wouldn't send their kids there---the real winners in MtP/Crestwood/16th Street Hts/Shepard getting booted from Deal/Wilson would be the high schools of charter schools. If DCPS sends the high SES students of Crestwood and 16th Street to Roosevelt, Shepard to Coolidge and MtP to CHEC, DCPS will have ensured that not one of those high schools will have a critical mass enough of middle to upper middle class students to effectively change the character of the school. All of those parents would rather peel off to charters, private or move. If DCPS wanted to get serious about creating a Wilson-quality east of the park high school---it would gerrymander the more expensive East of the park neighborhoods and have them all feed to one currently under-subscribed high school and then completely clean house in terms of administration, staff and faculty at the designated high school and start with a clean slate. Even then I'm not sure it would work---given the charter options of Latin, Basis, Cap City and EL Haynes---and also given the similarity the above-scenario has to what Rhee/Key parents tried to do with Hardy.
