I didn't get the impression she was saying that a handful of Hill parents in and of themselves would do something that a generation of Ward 3 parents did not.

I think she might have been suggesting that the pressures inside of DCPS may have changed.

Not too long ago the only decent MSs were Deal and Hardy, and there was a realistic chance to get in to Deal OOB.  Now, Deal is full and Rhee destroyed Hardy.

Meanwhile, Latin came in and stole some of the spotlight, Basis just opened, and DCI is on the horizon.  This may be DCPS's last chance to produce an MS (aside from Deal) that attracts a critical mass of middle/upper-middle class parents.

If a test-in or magnet type MS is the only way to do it, there might be some support across the city (not just in Ward 3) for the concept.  But, if it doesn't happen soon, it may be too late.  Once enough parents are invested in alternatives (Latin, Basis, DCI), it will probably be too late to bring them back into the DCPS fold.
