[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im the tutor from above. I will say I also tutor kids who are EXCELLENT and want further enrichment. So just because I tutor at your school doesn’t necessarily mean the kids are behind. But generally, sadly, dcps middle schools are not producing kids who are doing so well that they need enrichment, they’re producing kids who are so behind their parents notice and are rightly worried.

I don’t disagree that there is room for continued improvement, but we chose our local middle school after talking to parents of advanced kids who felt like their kids got a solid education there, and are now doing well and felt prepared at select high schools. I have had multiple conversations with the math and ELA teachers this year where they’ve met to discuss a plan for my student and other top students to ensure they are being sufficiently challenged and my student is on track to take geometry in 8th. Do I think my kid could be pushed even harder and do even more? Sure, but they are happy and enjoy going to school, have good friends (that are racially and socioeconomically diverse), involved in lots of extracurriculars, and have the autonomy to get to and from school easily. There are lots of happy families at DCPS middle schools—there are also unhappy families and families in between, but this is why test scores only give you some information. [/quote]
