[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How horrible!!  Proposing to build a school where others in that same area are over-capacity!!  Imagine the gaul of trying to encourage more parents to keep their kids in DCPS through middle school!?!?  The horror!!!  People on this board can be truly ridiculous.[/quote]

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to send them to an under-capacity middle school? The District is in a budget crisis after all.

Plus, what PP said.[/quote]

Yes, but then the under capacity middle schools are not in ward 3. Would the OOO kids who now attend Ward 3 schools be willing to attend that under capacity school?[/quote]

If not, they'll have to find another option -- or try to browbeat the city into spending revenues on a nice ward 3 school where they are willing to send their kids (but where they don't want to live)

There's a nice application only public high school in upper NW now -Ellington - An excellent arts school that makes AYP regularly.  (Wilson does not).  Maybe more OOB white families could apply there.  But they don't.  why?  Not too many white kids, is my guess.

Then there's Banneker - great central location, all kids go on to college.  School always makes AYP.  No white kids.  Why not?[/quote]
