[quote=Anonymous]Wells PP here.

We have a full co-teaching model for the four core subjects, so two full teachers in the room. One of the two is usually certified in EL or SpEd so those extra supports are right in the classroom. Math and ELA take up two blocks in the block schedule, allowing for differentiation in the second block (smaller groups split up by aptitude).

The administration is fantastic. Various leaders and teachers have won Standing Ovation Awards in the past several years, and much of the admin team (including the principal) have been there since the school opened in 2019. Lots of activities both during the school day and after school, too. Their "sense of belonging" on the Panorama survey was the highest among DCPS middle schools.

As far as music, come to our Arts Showcase from 5 to 7pm on May 16. The bands will all be performing in the Coolidge auditorium. One aspect I loved about the showcase last year was students introducing each grade level and talking about the things they learned as they advanced in their skills. They provide these intros in both English and Spanish, since we have a large multilingual population. Hearing how far they come in just a couple of years is incredible. Thanks to grant funding, every student has an instrument for the year.

For high school pathways, most Wells kids go on to Coolidge, where many of them are thriving. This year's 8th grade is also sending several dozen students to Banneker, McKinley, and Duke.[/quote]
