[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the idea that Middle School grades should be aligned across the system. If kids are peeling off from DCPS ES to go to good charters, perhaps all the ES should stop at 4th grade. Or else, all middle schools should start at 6th grade. The problem with the current system is that motivated parents are the ones who pull their students out of DCPS for charters in 5th grade, because of the lack of good DCPS middle school alternatives and the impossibility of getting into good charters at later grades. This makes the DCPS 5th grade population much smaller. This trend will just accelerate over time resulting in clearly under-populated 5th grades in ES that have no good MS to feed into. [/quote]
