[quote=Anonymous]We live on the hill and attend a sought-after charter. The "curriculum" (and I use that term loosely) is far from rigorous and it doesn't seem like the administration is interested in challenging students to perform above grade level. It has surprised me that so many parents seem happy and some kids seem to be achieving academically despite this, and recently it has started to become clear many parents are supplementing at home. For many reasons, that is not a model that is going to work for our family. So if you have a kid who is most probably capable of being an "advanced learner" but is not getting those challenges at school, but supplementing at home isn't an option, where can we go? Or is dcps off the table? We really want to stay in the city but don't see a school that has only 50-60% of its white students at grade level (and very very few above) an option. Please no judgment for not wanting to supplement. Our reasons are many and varied. [/quote]
