[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS won’t change until people are willing to make policy decisions without the fear of being called “racist.” Example 1: “Gifted” programs would keep middle and upper income families in neighborhood schools, improving academic outcomes (and providing low income academically advanced children a better education). Example 2: Feeder patterns that concentrate higher performing elementary schools to improve middle and high schools. Feed all the hill middle schools into one school … magically you have a second Deal. Bet you would get a second Wilson out of that too. But we can’t do either of those things, because it’s “racist.” [/quote] It seems like some DCPS high schools have been implementing #1. Anecdotally far more in boundary kids are attending Eastern and their IB program vs 5 years ago. Coolidge also created a program for advanced kids (can’t remember the name) that seems to keep some local kids enrolled. [/quote]
