[quote=Anonymous]I'm always curious about this "good academics" question in regard to DCPS. The curriculum is standard across the board and across schools. Some schools may offer slight more or fewer resources, but what's being taught is the same. So "good academics" appears to be a measure of students, not the school itself. There are students who get it and those who don't at every school in America. If you have a kid who wants to learn and be the best they can be, they will, and there will be ample support for that to happen. If your kid will benefit from a pre-professional, rigorous arts education. a 9-hour school day with many evenings of work,10 classes, plus homework on top, and a culture that supports the decision to choose the arts --then apply. If your kid just "likes the arts" please do not.[/quote]
