No New Transfers From Area Schools

None of our neighborhood schools were identified by the city as being in need of improvement for purposes of the Leave No Child Behind Act of 2001, but children who attends any of 15 other schools that were identified have the option of transferring out.

Parents must apply for the option by Friday. Students who are low performing and low-income will have first priority in changing schools.

The schools identified for the coming school year as being in need of improvement, based on Stanford-9 Achievement Test scores, are Bruce-Monroe, Stanton and Wilkinson Elementary Schools; Fletcher-Johnson Educational Center; Sousa and Evans Middle Schools; R. H. Terrell and Johnson Junior High Schools; and Anacostia, M.M. Washington, Ballou, Woodson, Eastern, Roosevelt and Coolidge High Schools.

Forms must be completed and returned in person to the Thomson-Logan Building, Room 107, at 215 G St. NE. More information is available online, at http://www.k12.dc.us/dcps/home.html or call the DCPS Office of Student and School Support Services, at 442-5200. §
