[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DCPS wants those kids in 5th they need to earn it, not mess with successful charters[/quote] My understanding is that even "successful" DCPS elementaries like Brent experience an exodus in 5th grade not because Brent is a bad school but because the charters like Latin or Basis start in 5th, therefore DCPS students HAVE to enter the lottery in 5th grade in order to have a decent chance of admission. Obviously, the need for lottery success in 5th grade is driven by the lack of enough good DCPS middle school options. But my original question still remains....why aren't the starting grades of middle school synchronized across DCPS and charter systems? How would that "mess with successful charters"? I am a charter supporter but I think the current system "messes with" the progress being made in DCPS elementaries by creaming off the 5th grade students with more motivated parents. [/quote]
