FWCS #1 by default

Indy media reported to day that IPS has lost 1500 students from 2011 while FWCS lost about 350. That makes FWCS the largest district in the state in terms of enrollment. It should be noted that four IPS schools were taken over by the state and converted to charters. About 1700 student chose to transfer to other IPS schools instead of going with the new charters, so the losses in Indy could have been much worse. In all about 500 appear to have opted out of IPS or former IPS schools entirely. But we need to see the state figures on vouchers and charter school enrollment to see what's really going on.

Nevertheless we expect GiaQuinta to organize a celebration featuring the high school bands.

FWCS needs to keep its mouth closed about cherry-picking. Public schools cherry pick, ask my neighbor about their three hour long interview with Norwell. Norwell's students must meet their guidelines and submit ISTEP scores and GPA results. I wonder if FWCS does the same?

FWCS may do that for their magnet schools, but if they do they wouldn't say so publicly. Otherwise they manipulate attendance areas and "choice" to keep their racial "balance".

FWCS cannot afford to turn students away. It is all about numbers and keeping the money coming in so downtown can keep growing. I wish they would close the central office.

Agree. They can't afford to be choosy, but then why would anyone from another district want to send their kids to FWCS. Even Harding was doing better than the three FWCS high schools south of Coliseum.

A few years back the Grile Center was "overflowing". Wendy wanted to buy the Wells Street YWCA from her friend Becky Hill who had run it into bankruptcy. Becky is now on the FWCS board where she can't make things any worse.
