[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looked away from Brightwood  years ago due to very low numbers of kids testing proficient on whatever the test was back then
Also, I hate the PreK-8 model. It doesn't allow for decent math differentiation, subject specialist teachers in upper grades, or enough of a critical mass for sports teams, drama, band etc[/quote]pp here...Brightwood is 65%hispanic 57% ELL...wouldn't it make sense to run a dual language program there? But that's not happening. With enrollment of 709, approx 210 would be in 6-8 grades...is that enough kids to offer French OR Spanish as a foreign language, or Math instruction at more than 1 level, or Science teachers with a science background? Are there enough kids for boys and girl's soccer teams/basketball/football/debate? Is there even enough field space for 2 teams to be outside at a time? :?  [/quote]

It is probably less.  Most DCPS schools have less kids the higher up you go.  And one language and three or four activities are still pretty slim pickings.  More importantly, no honors classes, right?[/quote]
