[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids left DCPS after 5th grade for a VA middle school (my ex lives in VA). I was dismayed to learn that the VA middle school didn't seem to be all that much better than my neighborhood middle school on Capitol Hill.

But now that my eldest is in high school in VA, I understand what the PP above is talking about in describing DCPS as a system that runs like it's in perpetual poverty.  The facilities, ECs, advanced classes and language classes (6 languages taught through IB Diploma Higher Level) at the VA high school are out of this world amazing compared to anything I've seen or heard about in DCPS. Most of my kid's teachers in VA are exceptional. And I really like how VA offers low-cost virtual summer instruction, both asynchronous and synchronous, for any high school student who wants it for all kinds of classes, including a dozen AP courses. [b]My rising sophomore will be taking 2 AP classes this summer via Virginia Virtual for $375/class.  [/quote][/b]

You can take summer virtual AP classes for free through DCPS (as well as many other classes) if you really want to take them...although, not exactly clear why you would want to do this because you still have to wait until May of next year to take the AP test.[/quote]
