[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]okay but the kids who don't score 5s at Key and JKLM also go to hardy and deal etc.  latin and basis are not fully filled w children who score 5s either.  i see a problem that families asked for some honors/differentiation at the local middle schools and now that its been provided to them they still find reasons its not good enough and keep setting the bar forever higher.    [/quote] Honors classes and differentiation only get us so far in schools that don’t track for all core subjects. Where are the advanced classes for science or social studies in the Ward 6 DCPS middle schools? They don’t exist and class sizes are generally larger that at Basis and Latin.  Moreover, the DCPS programs have much higher at-risk rates than Basis and Latin and socially promote like crazy. The great majority of high SES Ward 6 families just aren’t confident that their children would learn enough in these programs to be well prepared for HS without families supplementing extensively in core subjects. Many families don’t have the time, stamina or money to supplement a lot. Parent are being super picky to ask for appropriate rigor.[/quote]
