[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that none of the Friendship schools are mentioned here. What about Friendship’s international school up in Woodridge? [/quote] There are no mentioned here because DCUM is obsessed with certain schools only.[/quote] There are reasons-- 1) They don't offer a lot of middle school seats, most seats go to their own rising elementary schoolers. Offers are in the single digits. 2) It's pretty far east and not on the metro 2) PARCC scores super low, especially in math.[/quote] Math is 17% proficient, which in the context of DC is not that low. Citywide middle school proficiency rate was 20%. But yes, it’s hard to get in for middle school and true college-bound students get counseled out of the Friendship high schools to the DCPS application schools. Which is to the program’s credit, but means that Friendship isn’t solving the problem of high school uncertainty for college-bound students. [/quote]
