[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC law requires all public schools to do testing.  Charters have annual reporting requirements and then starting in 3rd grade they do the same standardized tests as all DC public schools.

The elementary teachers at our school have a very detailed curriculum - as detailed as anything I've seen.  The lower elementary kids are expected to do everything on the curriculum during their three years in lower elementary.  So while they don't have hard and fast milestones for the end of 1st and 2nd grade (because kids are individual and learn at different rates) they do expect certain goals to be met by the end of 3rd grade (which coincides with Montessori teaching).

My own child seems to be doing math in particular at a level vastly advanced to what I would anticipate at this point.  I've seen similar huge gains in other areas so I'm not concerned at all.  the fact that the kids also plan things like going out, starting at the age of six is impressive too.
