[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s about “low expectations” I think it’s about reality.  Many many kids in DC, including those at DCI are below grade level. The problem is parents can’t believe it because the test scores are their achool arwmatill better compared to other DC schools. But most of these kids wouldn’t cut it in Arlington gifted classrooms. DCI, like everybschool, is teaching to middle/bottom of the cohort.[/quote]

OK, but DCI could track for a lot more than math and language, like some of other DC public middle schools.

Yes and with so many kids at grade level and above, [b]it’s probably going to be just a matter of time in my opinion.  [/b]

I find it hilarious that all the people on here ( with new school/program, new curriculum, new administration, new teachers who might not all have experience with IB etc..] expect everyone to know exactly everything they are doing, have rigor to challenge all students, be able to have students not even at grade level get the IB diploma, and on and on.

Welcome to DCUM!
