[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other school that should feed to Hardy is Ross.[/quote]

Ross should really feed Francis-Stevens, since most of Dupont is already in-boundary for that school.  At 60 kids per grade for MS that would cover most of the kids of that age in Foggy Bottom / Dupont / West End.

Of course there's still a high school problem, since FS feeds to Cardozo for HS.[/quote]

Francis-Stevens should become the DC-wide, test-in middle school that everyone except DCPS knows should be happening.[/quote]

Nope.

The complication with your suggestion, is that it would further concentrate the higher quality middle schools on the western end of the city.  Politically, demographically, geographically, it isn't filling a void.  In fact, it's creating another superfluous institution.

When and if DCPS is serious about a competitive, test-in, magnet MS, it belongs east of the river.  And, strategically located (metro, bus, streetcar) for it to be attractive for wards 6 & 5.[/quote]

Oh, I see.  DCPS should avoid doing the obvious thing with a piece of partially vacant property it owns because the feelings of some parents will be hurt.  Many of those same parents are already trucking their kids to the other side of the city in search of more proficient student peers, but why in the world create an even better option when their feelings might be hurt.  Makes sense.[/quote]
