This is the latest chapter in a fight that has pitted longtime residents against new families in the gentrifying neighborhood.
, which also includes a five-year spending plan, and allocates $113 million to build a middle school just north of the Shaw neighborhood in Northwest Washington. The new campus would not be built until 2026 and would be located at the site of the recently vacated Banneker High School near Howard University’s campus.
Council member Brianne K. Nadeau , whose ward includes the proposed site for the school, said she would field feedback from parents on the location of the middle school, which is north of Shaw. Shaw Junior High — which had been located in the heart of the historically Black neighborhood of Shaw on the 900 block of Rhode Island Avenue — closed more than a decade ago amid declining enrollment. The neighborhood has since gentrified, and scores of residents in Shaw had hoped the mayor would resurrect the stand-alone middle school. Middle-school-age students in Shaw are currently zoned to attend Cardozo Education Campus, which serves students in middle and high school.
Bowser framed the fight as the latest gentrification battle in the city, pitting long-term residents who send their children to Banneker against more-recent arrivals in the city’s Shaw neighborhood.
