[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the relevance of average PARCC/CAPE scores are in a Hill middle school where your kid is taking 7th grade algebra while most of the other students in 7th grade are taking remedial or regular 7th grade math? There is some challenge in the Hill middle schools. My main concern about these schools is discipline and lack of definite academic tracking and above grade-level offerings outside math and maybe English, a longstanding problem due to backward DCPS policy on academic tracking. [/quote] I have a kid in EH. The discipline is very very strong. I’m not sure about academic tracking beyond math but my kid is engaged in subjects he never had an interest in entirely based on the strength of the teachers. So no, it’s not a grind, but seems pretty positive intellectually so far. My kid is 11 so he has time. PARCC for all the critiques actually tests serious content knowledge and skills, so I think the results are meaningful. [/quote]
