[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has gone off the rails. No way would I send my kid to Coolidge or Roosevelt unless they measurably improve. They will need to bring in serious test in tracking for us to consider these schools. My friend’s kids go to McKinley Tech and they say they are bored and not challenged at all. My own kid is at Wilson and not very happy. He finds most of the classes too easy and 9th grade was a joke. I sort of wish/wonder if we should have moved to the suburbs. Should have known better than to put any faith in DCPS. Good luck y’all with your pipe dreams of toughing it out at Coolidge or equivalent. The only schools the chancellor was considering for his son were Walls or Wilson. I wonder why he didn’t put him in Coolidge or Roosevelt. Also, the previous chancellor’s neighborhood school was Dunbar but no way was he going to let his daughter go there. Food for thought.[/quote]

Hey PP, thanks for saying it straight up.  Many of us already know that DCPS doesn’t care to track or challenge the high achieving kids.  We also know that higher achieving kids will do much better with a similar cohort of kids than in a mixed class with vast academic levels. Period.
