[quote=Anonymous]Problem is elementary schools can be locked into nice neighborhoods and the few OOB kids don’t rock the boat. Since middle school pulls multiple elementary schools they are more likely to have to pick up undesirable schools. There are only so many desirable schools and they mostly point to deal (maybe hardy) and they only send to Wilson. Since there is a major SES imbalance that leaves not enough higher SES kids to feed all the other middle schools which cause the few not on deal track to mostly move or private. Really the only solution would be to reassign schools to deal. Split the high SES kids to other wards and break up the poverty concentrations at the rest. It is a numbers game and considering the poor black kids out number the rich kids by multiples, it is startling that majority rich and largely white Wilson. exists. Fix that and we can talk about fixing the rest of the schools. Throwing all the poor kids into the other pile isn’t fair [/quote]
