Only Blair and Wheaton have advanced classes so many kids choose those vs. their home school because of it. If they want to fix it they need to have more advanced classes at every school.

False.

Its not false, we are in the DCC. Our school has NO science AP's and math ends with Calc BC. They don't have music AP and other things either. So, you compare what Blair and Wheaton and other schools like WJ the schools aren't close to equal.

Maybe your kid stoped at Calc but for those of our kids who want more advanced math, science, engineering, computer science, etc. it sucks.

I'm an Einstein parent too. But you said: "Only Blair and Wheaton have advanced classes." That is misinformation. All the schools have a selection of advanced classes, including AP and/or IB. Blair and Wheaton have STEM academies and magnets, so obviously they will have classes other schools do not. This may all be moot after the program analysis and boundary study anyway.

Just consider the consortiums as equally bad regardless if they actually use the term. Nobody really wants to go to those schools if they can avoid it. All options make Woodward a DCC and WJ wins out

Woodward is too far for most kids in DCC. Many of us prefer those schools which is why we didn't pick your neighborhood.

You picked it bc it's cheaper to live there. It's cheaper to live there because it's less desirable. You didn't pick it because of the quality of the schools. If your parents valued quality of schools perhaps you would be more educated and realize that

Only on dcum does anyone seem to think Blair is an undesirable school. I picked our neighborhood for a lot of reasons and the housing wasn’t cheap.

Blair may be actually for the 100 kids accepted into their magnet. But for gen pop, it's not a good school. Sorry

This a very rude thing to say and you should stop. It isn’t true and again it is very rude.

Go move to DCC if you desire those schools. You're rich enough for Ashburton and you enjoy your kids going to school with whites.

sorry for being dense, but if a school in the DCC doesn't have the classes desired, is it possible to just lottery to a desired school? does that only work if you 'win' the lottery?

We didn't understand that they didn't offer it and we tried to COSA and were denied. For 2nd child, we did that.

Ib is not equal to ap. There are no ap sciences classes. There is no math after calc bc. They have some, but not if your kid is on a faster track. At Einstein the VP and guidance counselor discouraged ours from taking ap classes at all.

IB is generally considered stronger than AP, around the world. At IB schools, kids are encouraged to take IB classes. If you're in the DCC and don't want an IB school, there are three non-IB schools available.

I have an IB diploma. I did well in the classes. It was harder than college. That being said, I also took many AP classes. They were more difficult. And US colleges respect AP more for credit and otherwise. I would encourage my kid towards AP. IB focuses too much on fluff like Theory of Knowledge, and extended essay and the excessive emphasis on foreign language skills which I've since forgotten and was useless in retrospect

If you're looking for math beyond 3D calculus you prob should just dual enroll. You think a high school teacher can effectively teach Differential Equations? If your school offers AP Calc BC that's plenty.

+1 nobody wants DCC for their kids if they can avoid it. Any WJ parent pretending otherwise is just too progressive to admit it to themselves. If your are getting zoned to Woodward you lost big time
