[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear you, and I agree that many of us are limited in our options for schools. But it’s junior high and high school, it feels like a pretty basic requirement that the school challenge your child, at whatever level they are (aside from the profoundly gifted that just need individualized work). We a few years until middle school still, but I just have a hard time getting my head around settling for middling academics in the years leading up to college. [/quote] DC public charter schools just weren't set up to provide your UMC kid with the sort of academic rigor a strong suburban MS would. They're designed to help close the achievement gap. Best to get your head around middling academics in the public system, or the prospect of moving, going private, or hoping for a BASIS spot.[/quote]
