[quote=Transplant_1][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the academies are essentially a joke. They seem to exist to give false hope of academic excellence to middle school families considering leaving DCPS for good. But higher level AP math and science offer real rigor at J-R. [/quote] From the one tour I took, it seemed like the academies is a way to keep hope / on-track kids that may not do well in school - to create a community of like-minded kids to support each other. Most of the tour guides were from the hospitatlity track, and that is what I picked up. And I'm glad that is there, and seems like a good thing. But, what about for preparing for highly selective colleges - esp. the writing skills needed.[/quote]
