Take a DCPS Planning Survey

DCPS is conducting a public engagement process to determine if and when a new standalone middle school is needed for the Cardozo feeder pattern. Currently, Cardozo EC is a secondary school serving grades 6-12. If a new middle school was opened, the middle grades would phase out of Cardozo EC and Cardozo would become a 9-12 high school. The new middle school would feed into Cardozo for high school.

As part of the engagement process, we are conducting a survey to solicit citywide feedback on the draft criteria and considerations to determine whether to open the school, location characteristics and secondary program planning. The survey should take around 15 minutes to complete and will close Friday, April 19, 2019.

Take the survey here.

To review more information on the planning process, including relevant data and community feedback, please visit the DCPS School Planning blog.

The feedback from this survey will be used to inform a final draft of criteria and considerations for the opening of the middle school. This proposal and a summary of survey feedback will be shared at the next Cardozo Feeder Pattern Middle School Planning Community Meeting on April 25 scheduled for 6PM-8PM at Garrison ES (1200 S St NW, Washington, DC 20009).
