no trolling - comparing MoCo vs WOTP DCPS schools

I have two kids at Deal who have received all A's and 100% in many classes some quarters (as in they haven't missed a point on anything the entire quarter in math or ELA). They have received 5's on all PARCCs they have taken since 3rd grade. They're learning but they certainly aren't being challenged. The school does test-in for math and so they're both up 2 years (Algebra 1 in 7th and on). I'm not sure if they're G&T or not but they're certainly maxing out the Deal curriculum with very little effort and it was the same at our JKLM feeder school. Deal has not offered they any other enrichment and I'd put them in the top 10% of their respective classes (about 10% of the kids perform at this level--in terms of grades, etc).

I have a neighbor whose kid is definitely gifted (the type of kid doing Algebra independently at home in 4th grade) and while Deal has allowed the kid to accelerate in math (Algebra in 6th, double math classes in 7th), they haven't done anything in other subjects. However, the family is much happier at Deal than at the JKLM which did absolutely nothing for this kid despite quite a few meetings with the school. Or should I say, they did a few "pull outs" for more advanced problem sets in math but nothing at all like a true gifted and talented program and certainly no different or expanded curriculum.

Thanks for your honesty. Parents who think their kids are being challenged to their fullest potential in DCPS are kidding themselves. Just like they are deluding themselves saying this and this is not widely known or not being touted but equivalent to G & T. All subjective stuff.

I was in G & T in elementary and tracked at the highest level throughout school. Tracking, grouping kids who are performing at the highest level, and teaching a very in depth and accelerated curriculum pushes them to perform better and reach their full potential. Giving an individual child a harder assignment so they are being “challenged” will not have the same effect. This applies to elementary and is even more important in middle and high school.

Unlike DC and Deal, neighboring states such as VA and MD, the middle schools offer multi-level courses for ALL subjects, all. So do their high schools. This is tracking. This is how you group the best and brightest together, and this is how you are able to accelerate a curriculum and learning. As the students rise up to the challenge, the teacher can easily modify it and raise the difficulty ceiling further. You cannot do this when you don’t have all these students together and have varying levels of students in a class.

Did you learn the verb “to tout” in your G and T program? When you use it, I can tell how smart you are!

I am using the verb in the context of a PP. Its obvious you don’t get subtle jabs. Guess you were never in G & T or top of your class.

You picked the wealthiest schools in DC and compared them to a diverse set of schools in MD. That's called cherry picking your data OP.

+1 And Ross ES EOTP, not WOTP. But I guess you want to use it because its test scores are higher than most of the WOTP schools.

I thought OP is using these schools because many say that there are no schools in DC better than top MCPS.

That's correct, but these scores are meaningless because they are from different standards.

Then the premise of the Op is that the best schools of Dc are comparable to the average schools of MCPS?

How many times do we have to go over this ? They are not the same assessments. Different standards.
You cannot compare PARCC assessment taken in DC to PARCC assessment taken in MD. Different standards. MD standards are very high and tough.
A simple Google search could have told you that.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARCC
"When administering the PARCC assessment, states will be able to tailor the exams to their standards, classes, and other accountability tools that are unique to each state."

THERE IS NOTHING TO DISCUSS

I'm pretty sure you have that backward. The complains were that MD dummied down the reporting after they saw the results. DCPS stuck to the original standard.

So in DCPS, everyone just takes the same class/is given the same material? There are no advanced/honors or remedial classes?

If you can afford it, send your kids to the top privates in the city. If you can’t, then move to the burbs with the top performing schools. They are not being challenged to their fullest potential. It’s way too easy for them. They are likely more bored than what they are telling you.

Basically in a nutshell yes. Maybe math track here and there. There are a few test in high schools. Wilson high school is the track for Deal after middle school. They have regular courses, honors, and AP. Now leadership there I heard wants to remove the regular course and have honors for all in 9th - 11th so kids 3 and 4 grade levels apart are in the same class.

Test scores don’t tell nearly the whole story.

I thinks that’s the problem, your kid is fine and will do fine anywhere. But would you send your child to a school like Eastern, Ballou, Anacostia, Roosevelt, or Cardozo? Peer groups matter as children grow older and are less influenced by their parents. That is why people go the the burbs or private. That is not to say that kids in those schools do not have issues —-but much of the school populace can focus on their education. Much of the student population in suburban/private schools have hands on parents—-that cannot be said for many of DC’s economically impoverished schools. Many of those kids have to worry about a roof over their head, food to eat & other depressing stressors. Hence the repeatitive, cyclical generations of the impoverished.

This is a thread about elementary schools, why are you talking about high school?

Wow, I commented pro tracking above but this post is so tone deaf I want to take it all back. You don’t hear how you sound? “Best and Brightest”? This is why people think tracking is just a way to reinforce elitism and privilege. What’s everyone else, mediocre and dull? I generally like the concept and benefited from it but I’d hate my kid to turn out like you.

No. Elementary schools differentiate; middle schools are either IB (so no tracking needed - though there is some differentiation), or they do have tracks (eg. Hardy and the cluster MS on the Hill), and the high schools all have different levels.

Why on DCPS threads are people who say negative things thanked for "honesty," and people who give positive facts and opinions are dismissed?

OP here. The thread was a spin off from another that got deleted. Essentially, someone was asking was there any school in DC better than Janney. Then a moco parent chimed in and said that most moco schools would kick the snot out of even the schools like Janney. I asked which ones she was referring to and those are the schools in Moco that I have listed.

I thought OP is using these schools because many say that there are no schools in DC better than top MCPS.

That's correct, but these scores are meaningless because they are from different standards.

Then the premise of the Op is that the best schools of Dc are comparable to the average schools of MCPS?

OP here. The thread was a spin off from another that got deleted. Essentially, someone was asking was there any school in DC better than Janney. Then a moco parent chimed in and said that most moco schools would kick the snot out of even the schools like Janney. I asked which ones she was referring to and those are the schools in Moco that I have listed.

Just for the record, I am the poster on the other thread who said that elementary schools in Montgomery county would kick the snot out of Janney. But I am not a Montgomery county parent. My kids went to elementary school in Northern Virginia.
