[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

I imagine Cardozo or Roosevelt would be realistic candidates for this. Cardozo just got redone and well - Roosevelt is about to get the Extreme Makeover: DCPS edition.

One interesting thing is that I think high-quality charters cannot grow enough in Ward 1/Ward 4.  People can assemble groups and dream them up, sure, but they can't get buildings fast enough and therefore have to move to the Shaeds of the world.

That means more and more pressure to get people into the DCPS schools and make them over.  Turn them into Eatons and Hearsts as was suggested above.  And there is the intriguing possibility of McFarland remaining in DCPS hands in time to create a middle school that can serve families that don't want to feed into CHEC or stay in PS-8 schools.[/quote]
