Jefferson: Brent, VN, Tyler, AB - same
EH: Maury, Payne, Miner - same
I'm not so sure that a pan-Hill school is actually necessary at this point except that it might help solve the collective action problem of people leaving for other options.[/quote]

What would be the relevance of "good or improving" when the DCPS middle schools these elementary school programs feed into routinely lump students who read at a 3rd or 4th grade level into the very same large science, social studies and possibly English classes as students who read years ahead of of grade level?

If DCPS wants to solve the collective action problem of people leaving for other options, they need to start by offering challenging academics for advanced learners across the board, not stopping at merely paying lip service to rigor.

THIS 1000%.  They are actually going in the opposite direction and taking away higher level classes because of “equity”. Just look at Wilson and the disastrous honors for all in 9th and 10th.

I bet anything that there will be a trend of less higher performing kids at Deal going to Wilson.[/quote]
