[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, technically Deal doesn't offer advanced science or social studies. But Deal has dramatically different demographics that SH. The student body is majority white and UMC in a city where the achievement gap isn't a gap, it's a chasm.

PARCC scores don't offer anything like the full picture of the chasm. Concerned that your kid's science class isn't sufficiently challenging as a Deal parent? No problem, enroll your student in a high-powered summer STEM science camp or two.  Not satisfied with social studies rigor? Watch History Channel documentaries with your kid, take them to Civil War battle reenactments, history museums and historical sites. Encourage them to read historic fiction.

What you're missing at SH is a majority of peers with the resources and support at home to place themselves on a DIY advanced track for science and social studies[/b].  This is irregardless of what DCPS policy on academic tracking dictates.

All of this is speculative nonsense. Plus, why would we take any insight on advanced learning of anything when you use "irregardless."[/quote]
