[quote=Anonymous]Hello,

I am looking for recommendations for DC public or charter schools that have a proven track record of providing differentiated math work for their elementary students (not just talk about doing it). My child is in 1st grade now and we would be looking to attempt to lottery in to a school (hopefully in NW or central NE DC, but open to all suggestions) for second grade. I am not talking about special classes or anything like that (although if your school does that, I would be interested to hear!). What I mean is something like how schools create small reading groups based on reading level. Our school does this well for reading, but they have told me that all students complete the same (grade level) math work and they have never provided any differentiated learning and don't have a plan (or, seemingly, the ability or time) to do this.

Our child was recently tested mildly gifted (IQ 97% percentile) so would be served quite well in a traditional school that can teach content maybe 2 grade levels above grade level (i.e. they really don't need to be in a special gifted program). I realize it is a long shot to lottery in somewhere, but it is becoming a big problem and affecting my child's mental health and interest in school.

Appreciate any information fellow parents can provide![/quote]
