[quote=Anonymous]I have heard that DCPS admin thinks that smart kids can teach themselves. their whole focus is "low-performing students" with the belief that all it takes is a great teacher to raise student achievement. Meanwhile, on their watch, the achievement gap has increased and advanced placement programs have been dumbed down. So it doesn't look good for your gifted kid. At present, your kid's only value to DCPS is his/her ability to pump up the overall scores. This way DCPS can brag that "scores are up" as if they've performed a miracle, when actually there are just more kids like yours in the system. DCPS does have a very successful academic high school - Banneker -- but by default, only black kids go there, though it's technically open to all.[/quote]
