[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this shows that schools need to be busting their ass to attract and retain high SES/high achieving families. The schools and teachers are going to depend on those super stars to save their ass.  If teachers and schools are going to be judged on PARCC scores they better come up with some incentive to keep these populations.  My kid is only in PS and I am already frustrated with our IB lousy test scores and disastrous PTA organization.  And my kid is exactly the kind of kid they need to take the PARCC on third grade but we will, along with our counterparts, will all have moved on.[/quote]

lol, no. sorry dear, there is no market for "high SES" families in DCPS. It does not work that way. If you expect to be catered to, move to MD or VA.[/quote]

Attract is not the same thing as catered to. Look, in a few years Wilson is going to be filled with IB families who bought during the peak and paid a mint for a tiny 1940s colonial and probably don't have the income to fund several kids in private.  These families will have little tolerance for excuses. They value academic rigor and will not tolerate anything less. Go to PTA meetings at the feeder schools, these folks are not shrinking violets.  DCPS has about 3 to 4 yards to sort Wilson out before it gets heated.  [/quote]
