[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I support 2-3 test-in middle schools, [b]in easily accessible (and relatively crime-free) areas of the city...say brookland, capital hill, near St Elizabeth's new campus[/b]

The scores for walls and banneker aren't impressive, but I think they would be better with better middle school preparation[/quote]

How are those easily accessible places!! They're nowhere near, say, Dupont![/quote]Not everything has to be in NW....besides which, there is no space round there...[/quote]

"Space" is negotiable in cities, but sure, not everything needs to be in NW. But really, St. Elizabeth's?!! That might as well be on the moon.

For central city families, "easily accessible" means within a few blocks of Metro or frequently-running ( > every 10 mins. all day) bus routes.[/quote]St E's is close to a metro. I see lots of new townhomes going up there, the area is changing due to the new federal space at the old campus, and Branch ave/pennsylvania Ave SE have middle income areas, if you take a good look around
I read complaints here about kids crowding into ward 3 schools. There's no better way to ease crowding than creating a decent program much closer to home[/quote]
