[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised by the low number of SPED at MV.  For such a big school - that's pretty low.[/quote]

Not as low as Basis.  That's actually quite disturbing, but then they just kick kids out.[/quote]

Actually are quite a few 'higher' performing schools with disturbingly low levels of SPED students.

SWW High School - .7%
Banneker - 2.4%
McKinley - 2%
Ellington - 4.6%

That's not as disturbing as you think.  Those are DCPS test-in schools.  Students who need services within DCPS can still get them.  Basis is its own little school district, and it can kick students out whenever it wants until it runs into an IDEA lawsuit.

That's why their newest school is private and not even in DC.  They are all about the attrition model.[/quote]

PP who's psoted a couple times. It is exactly as disturbing as I think.

My BASIS kid with an IEP is also an advanced learner who needs accommodations and minimal services. I am not sending that child to Coolidge, our IB high school because they cannot meet DC's needs. SWW would not allow extended time and typing accommodation on their entrance exam - which is a huge barrier to entry and makes no sense academically. I don't have the tiem or resources to file an IDEA lawsuit against DCPS over this but we could.

FWIW BASIS, College Board and PARCC allow DC to have extra time, and a computer to type written responses.
