[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is doing better than his peers in math. I am afraid he will not be challenged next year and that is why I applied at the better schools. Seeing how easy math was for him, and how easy the math is in the school led me on the journey to investigate how different DC schools were performing in math and reading as he is well beyond their level of reading also. That is how I came to discover the DC lottery for the first time. It is also how I came to discover Brent, Maury, School within School, and Ludlow Taylor as the high performers for both math and reading in the Capitol Hill area.  [/quote]

SWS is anti-differentiation. If you have a high performing student (higher than grade level), I would absolutely not choose there looking for extra challenge. If you're just looking for grade level challenge, it's a fine choice with a large cohort of high performers.[/quote]

Even if he doesn't get challenged too hard, I would still prefer he be in a class\school with other high performers so he can see he isn't necessarily the smartest kid in the room. Something still to strive for. If he is in fact the smartest kid in a room of high performers, well... I will just be proud then! In any case those are the friends I would prefer for him, other high performers.  [/quote]
