[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin can't fix poverty or DCPS' grave management problems in the District.  When kids come through a DCPS ES lacking basic skills, Latin, a cash-strapped 5-12 charter, isn't in a great position to enable droves of performers up to perform at grade level in middle school. But what Latin can do is provide an invaluable service to the City in keeping scores of middle-class families in the DC neighborhoods they love and invest in, along with adequately supporting the learning of a small at-risk student population.  Without Latin or BASIS, a great many UMC families EotP would have hit the road for VA or MD schools long ago.

Let Latin do what it does best - serve as one of the two high-performing middle schools serving middle-class families EotP.  The school is plenty diverse as is, given its many constraints, and DCPS' colossal failure to set up and run high-performing middle schools outside Upper NW.[/quote]

Some of the PPs on this thread expect miracles of Latin.  Ignore them.

Unless Latin locates its new campus deep into Ward 8 [b](very unlikely)[/b], NE and SE gentrifiers are going to be there in force.

They will achieve this by dint of their heavy representation in the applicant pool, along with the bus they're going to deploy from Cap Hill.[/quote]

Why not locate deep into Ward 8? Why is it very unlikely? Don't the students in Ward 8 deserve an opportunity at Latin? With National Collegiate Prep in Ward 8 closing, their facility is available and Latin could go there. [/quote]
