[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is that my white upper-middle-class first grader attends a DC public school that does not appear on your list and is overwhelmingly disadvantaged and is reading and doing math three grade levels ahead.  And this learning is going on in the school, not at my house!

Test scores don’t tell nearly the whole story.[/quote]

I thinks that’s the problem, your kid is fine and will do fine anywhere. But would you send your child to a school like Eastern, Ballou, Anacostia, Roosevelt, or Cardozo? Peer groups matter as children grow older and are less influenced by their parents. That is why people go the the burbs or private. That is not to say that kids in those schools do not have issues —-but much of the school populace can focus on their education. Much of the student population in suburban/private schools have hands on parents—-that cannot be said for many of DC’s economically impoverished schools. Many of those kids have to worry about a roof over their head, food to eat & other depressing stressors. Hence the repeatitive, cyclical generations of the impoverished. [/quote]
