[quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS helps advanced students by attracting boatloads of high SES kids. My kid's first grade class is not short on advanced students who read and compute above grade level, and, for that matter, can identify most of the buildings on the National Mall, because, hey, their parents are NASA engineers, senior Congressional staffers, college professors, non-profit communications directors, government lawyers and the like. If you're looking for decent offerings for advanced students in DC, you must find a way into a school with a FARMs rate in the teens or single digits. This is twisted, wrong, short-sighted, bad policy, and many other things none of us can like, but it's reality in a deeply troubled urban school system with poor leadership.[/quote]
