[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scores are online with other charters and a lot of dcps middle schools. But there are a lot of dcps middle schools that do better too.  Not sure of the why's and how's .

And there are a lot more families planning to stay through middle school than there were even 3-4 years ago.  The competition for schools private and public has grown a lot which is part of the reason for people staying.

We like the school and feel it is educating our child well.  But, if you want a school with top preforming score for low income students then it is not currently that school.  It is and does a lot of really good things for all different types of students. Just depends on what you and your student need.[/quote]

It seemed like about 1/4 of last year's 4th graders left for different schools (primarily Basis and Latin) so perhaps 2/3 - 3/4 stayed for 5th grade? Not sure what next year will look like but most other families we're talking to are staying; there are a few that live in the Deal boundary and I believe they were always planning to leave at 6th.  not sure if that's still true but wouldn't surprise.

To the PP with younger kids at the school, maybe you could try connecting with families with older kids as the years go on, and see what their experience is like?  The school has changed a lot of its middle school model, so an experience that someone had 2 years ago might not reflect the current structure/approach. [/quote]
