[quote=Anonymous]The way to make DCPS more desirable to families outside of Ward 3 is to create magnet programs and funnel the ES that are solidly performing into one junior high/HS cohort---an incremental approach to creating another Deal/Wilson success story. Simultaneously, throw serious wrap-around services to the high-poverty elementary schools a la the formula followed by schools like KIPP. If you do both of those things simultaneously, then DCPS might---and I emphasize might---be able to retain enough of a educated, middle and upper middle class parent demographic EOTP to actually achieve its desired goal of "socio-economically diverse high performing public schools". But trying to shortcut the hard work necessary to get to that point by trying this forced pollination approach is going to just drive families away. [/quote]
