[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern high school suffers from all the same problems as all the non selective DCPS schools.  If you send a kid there they will be in classes that are often half full for no reason, kids on devices all day barely engaging academically, leaving school early, smoking weed on campus, etc.  There are good students and staff there but the experience of those who care is ruined by out of control students that DCPS refuses to address in any meaningful way.  If your kid works really hard they will be bored because teachers spend half the time trying to catch up all the kids who were late/absent and dealing with behavior. [/quote]

But the IB cohort is a good way of solving that problem, no? Kids are selecting into it. They want to be there. It may not solve the academic preparation problem, but I don't think these are kids with behavior issues. [/quote]

Nobody is willing to clearly explain if the IB program actually is effectively an honors program/school within school. [/quote]

I have heard from someone who is a long term sub there that it is basically two different schools that are pretty separated. Honors/IB and gen ed.[/quote]

They are also in their 2nd year of an honors program for 9th & 10th.

How is it honors if their math CAPE scores are so low?[/quote]
