[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in middle school, they had different tiers of classes, so that kids who were advanced were challenged and those who needed extra help got it. These tiers were determined through a combo of elementary grades and test-in scores. I went to a real rough inner city school where stabbings were common. But I was sheltered from all of that because my classes were composed of all the smart kids. Sometimes I had to interact with the other kids during elective classes but for the most part, they left me alone.

Are you saying that places like Brookland Middle has the same classes for evey student regardless of ability? If so, that's ridiculous.[/quote]

Based on what is online for Brookland -http://www.brooklandms.org/home/subjects/ (no hint of Algebra or Geometry) and what has been stated at the MacFarland planning meetings, full tracking as you describe isn't happening in DCPS.

In some schools like Hardy they do have some honors vs regular classes (likely math) but other subjects (science, history, electives) will be for all students regardless of current academic levels. [/quote]
