[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would welcome any specifics for folks joining the school at K/1. I know the demographics bolster test scores but curious to learn what special sauce there is beyond just plugged-in families. (MS/HS not a consideration since we will be moving after 5th). [/quote]

I think the Ross special sauce relates to the ambitious principal, who has been there for maybe 15 years and turned the school into what it is now.

Some info:

The school also has an extra writing curriculum, so the kids learn how to write (persuasive essays, narratives) really properly. And I find it pretty low tech, compared to other DCPS schools.

The demographic influence may be because if you have a room full of kids with really involved parents, you can ask more of all the students.  [/quote] I read Ross as a great principal with a school in a high income area equals gentrifying the school to achieve success. A good blueprint for any other schools EOTP?[/quote]
