The NYC Educational Landscape in 2020?

The concept of the school as a focal point in a community is slowly eroding.  In the last decade we have witnessed the dicing and demolishing of NYC comprehensive high schools into smaller, supposedly higher achieving schools.  Big schools were closed, only to be replaced my new, smaller models enjoying no more success.  Even Gates admitted he was wrong here.  Why he couldn't just discard smaller schools for smaller class sizes, I'm sure I'll never know. Perhaps the idea is too obvious for his tastes.

I scanned lists of the many new schools which surfaced during the Bloomberg era.  It was somewhat unsettling.  Naturally, I began to wonder what the educational landscape of NYC might look like in 2020 if all this educational deformity continues unabated.
