[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ross family here - it is true that in the past many families were not willing to give SWW@FS a try. Many left for charters starting in 5th. Some moved within DC.  A couple each year went to private.

But what PPs have said is true - that is changing.  There are about 10 Ross kids in the current 6th grade at SWW@FS, and if all the current Ross 5th graders go there for 6th next year, that will be about 20. There is still a high school feeder issue, but [b]I think many families hope their kid tests into SWW high school[/b].  At this point, I don't know of anyone planning on Cardozo for high school.

They should start thinking about a plan b (and there are options). Nearly everyone outside a Wilson feeder hopes their child gets into SWW high school.

2018-19 was the first year in a long time that SWW did not clear its wait list -- they admit about 120 9th grade students each year and put another 70-80 on the wait list (out of about 700 who tested last year).

OTOH they are nearly doubling the seats at Banneker in a couple years, and McKinley's test scores are going up. [/quote]
