Serious question?  DCPS doesn't offer appropriate challenge for most UMC students at the middle school level, let alone in high school.  You nothing about this problem?  In DCPS middle schools, kids who work multiple years behind grade level are lumped in the very same classes with kids who work ahead of grade level. There's no academic tracking, other than for math and maybe English. No advanced middle school offerings in any subject in DCPS schools. People aren't rejecting neighbors at all; they're rejecting lack of vital rigor and order for that matter.  You invariably get rowdy classrooms when most of the students are either lost or bored.

S-H has started quietly tracking in math as it's population of kids capable of working ahead has grown. Just like Deal and Hardy track because they have a critical mass of kids ready for it.

So the key to getting tracked classes and more advanced coursework is... to send your kids to these schools in larger numbers.[/quote]

Ding ding! And yet 400 people will tell you why that's not possible because XYZ [/quote]

DCPS lets you track in math so why it’s such a secret at SH, I don’t know.  But I hear that the higher tracking there is really just on grade level.

But DCPS will not let you track kids in other subjects.  They just won’t.  Case in point is SH.  It’s because of equity.  They believe in mixed ability classes because some small study says the lower performing kids do better.

The answer is to just get out of DCPS completely.  [/quote]
