It would also help if the district provided some more diverse and specialized programming at the inner city schools.. made each one a centre for a specific discipline or something like that.
Parkdale School got shut down because the enrollemnt was low and falling. But there are lots of kids in the catchment area. However the programming that the disctrict offered was geared towards kids with socio-economic difficulties. For the growing number of middle class families in the neighborhood, that meant shipping their kids off to other schools.
