[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is now at both EH and SH [b]approximately 30 students in each grade who get 4s and 5s on the CAPE math test.  That is a cohort. [/b] Is Latin better?  Most would say yes and especially yes if you care about having a decent high school locked in.  But it is also now a very difficult lottery spot to land.  Is Hardy better?  Most would say yes but it is also a pretty lengthy daily commute from the eastern side of the city even with a lottery spot.  Basis is pretty controversial - and the 5th grade waitlist movement and 7th-9th grade attrition there both speak to that.  I think its increasingly common to not get into Latin, turn down Basis, and try a Hill area dcps middle school.[/quote]

No.  That is only a cohort if the students are tracked, which DCPS absolutely refuses to do.  The reality is, in a classroom at EH, more than 80% of students are going to be below grade level. [/quote]

is this the point when I say my kid is smart and advantaged enough that I don’t think being around less privileged kids as a 12 yr old will threaten his future? [/quote]
