[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dunbar- incredible facility. Nary a Ward 3 kid in sight.

The kicker here is that this renovation, which cost $128,000,000, serves 1/3 fewer kids than Lafayette which cost 40% less. [/quote]

Beautiful building/facility that certainly required plenty of resources.  Curious, how are the students in this beautiful building performing academically?  Lafayette had some of the highest scores in the city well before it was renovated into a "palace".  As others have stated, throwing money, taxpayer or pta, at[b] schools [/b][i]isn't the reason why student performance is better at some schools than others.  It is an issue much larger than what goes on inside the walls of these schools.  I don't believe any Ward 3 PTA could raise enough money to pay for the army of social workers/psychologists that are needed to deal with the issues many DCPS students come to school with every day.  But I guess its much easier and more fun to throw mud at Ward 3 families than seriously consider the larger socioeconomic issues at work and how they may be addressed.[/quote]
