[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a problem in DC as well. Only a few middle schools have the appropriate coursework to make a student eligible for the competitive high schools. [b]And those middle schools are neighborhood schools which restrict enrollment to a certain geographic area unless you are lucky in a lottery. Completely unjust and unfair. [/b] Test-in middle schools would be more fair by testing academic aptitude rather than just achievement [/quote]

Technically, no.  Students will come out of Latin, Basis, Kipp, and Howard Math/Science equally prepared.  [/quote]

Disagree because, in most cases, high SES plus good school trumps low SES plus good school.  Too many kids needing remedial work are in classes at all these schools for the best students to be as well prepared as those at Deal.   The only real differentiation on the list is for math at BASIS.  And even the strongest Deal kids aren't keeping up the MS test-in magnet crowed in Fairfax and MoCo.
