[quote=Anonymous] Cap City is a school that focuses on project-based learning. Students get exposure to a wide variety of projects, activities, speakers. In other words they really get to be kids. However there is only so much time in the day. They reason they didn’t focus on the academics of because they are not there to make sure standardized test metrics are met. At MacFarland, you’ll get more and more highly qualified, long term teachers because they are moving there to work for a principal that is highly popular. However, DCPS is a test taking machine. Which is sad because the results…let’s just say the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Dcps will never get to brag about field trips and projects. But if your kid is lucky enough to get placed with the actually effective teachers, they may get a much better more effective learning experience than at cap city. Good luck! [/quote]
