[quote=Anonymous]I love living in the city so I hate to say this. However, if your school is greater than 25% FARMS, you really need to supplement at home in order to prevent those students from being a drain on your own child's education. I know that's not pretty, but it's true. There are just so many poor students in DC and they need so much remediation that they get prioritized. If you can't find a way to avoid their influence (which is a force of numbers) then you have to find a way to mitigate it. Wealthier schools help: private, certain DCPS, certain HRCs, suburbs. As long as you can keep their influence below 25% (preferably below 20%) then your child can be a positive influence on them, instead of them being a negative influence on your child. [/quote]
