[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why you say that math instruction is that bad in DCPS. Based on what? A weak curriculum or something? [/quote]

Are you for real?  Have you looked at the math scores at all for majority of DCPS elementary schools?

I won’t even go into how awful it is for majority if middle and high schools, many if which has like 90% plus below grade level.  Single percentages on grade level.[/quote]

The schools with greater UMC populations do much better, as always. It’s not about the instruction at our kid’s school, which we think is great. And once you get to a decent middle, they will accelerate. [/quote]

LOL!  You are so naive and obviously have a younger kid.  Get back to us in a few years.

The acceleration at middle schools EOTP is actually not advance and just standard.  The kids do so poorly that to them advance is in name only.[/quote]

I'm really not sure what you mean by this. Some EOTP middle schools do offer math acceleration, which I define as Algebra I and Geometry being available before 9th grade and kids scoring at least a 3 on CAPE. They're not just teaching Eureka Math 8th Grade content and calling it accelerated.

Let's try to support our statements with data. You might like to review the OSSE Middle School Advanced Math CAPE spreadsheet. https://app.box.com/s/y0vrq1g8u6p98pd12qdk6g007r8q366p There, one can see that EOTP schools had kids at the Approaching/Meeting/Exceeding level for Algebra I in middle school. This includes Wells, CHML, Hart, Johnson, Stuart-Hobson, McKinley Middle, DC Prep schools, Two Rivers, and others. The Geometry data is harder to research because of the small numbers being suppressed, but it's clear that it's offered at several schools. And as it's a new thing for some schools, it may increase in the future.
