[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither take kids with IEPs. Equal opportunity discrimination![/quote]

Wow, I just looked up the stats, and both schools say “0 %” IEPs.  My 2E child is only in middle school, but when high school application time comes I’ll be very tempted to bring a law-suit.  [/quote]

Your 2e DC can go to either school.  They just won't have an IEP.  Which many 2e kids don't need in high school.[/quote]

It's not legal to have a school that technically anyone can go to except not if they have an IEP or 504 plan. DCPS seems to skate under the radar on this because magically the kids with disabilities (or English Language Learners, for that matter) just don't get offered a place through the "holistic" admissions process but I would love to see a lawsuit on this.[/quote]

I think they want to avoid the extra time on test provision. I have an LD and by the time I got to college it was very clear that LD students were accommodated but discouraged from requesting extra time for exams. But perhaps this is outdated? It’s been a while since I’ve been in school.[/quote]
