[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academies have become popular as a way to create smaller learning communities within a larger school. They also are supposed to help kids connect the dots between school and actual careers. They have had mixed success in DCPS. [/quote] Academies are pseudo vocational tracks. That is why they are rigid and there are no AP courses in many. The focus at JR is shifting from a school to prepare kids for college to a school to help lower achieving kids to find careers, many of which do not need college.[/quote]
