[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just going to say this, during the government shutdown I was a sub at many Charters which most have not been mentioned in this thread due to their locations and they are terrible. I did sub at a few in the Ward 4 and 5 neighborhoods and they are not so great either. I question why some of the parents of the bright students let their kids remain.

If you want to put DCPS against Charters, stop pointing out a select few Charters that UMC parents cling to.  [/quote]

Go sub at DCPS in those same neighborhoods and get back to us. [/quote]

Yea but bottom schools are all charters.

CHARTER CSI Schools (Bottom 5%):

Bridges PCS
Friendship PCS – Online Academy
Rocketship PCS – Legacy Prep
Roots PCS
Shining Stars Montessori Academy PCS

DCPS CSI Schools (Bottom 5%):
The data shows ZERO DCPS schools were designated as CSI (Comprehensive Support and Improvement) for low performance in the 2024 cycle.
This is a significant finding. While both sectors have schools at various performance levels:

All 5 of the lowest-performing Title I schools in DC (bottom 5%) are CHARTER schools
No DCPS schools fell into the bottom 5% for the 2024-25 designation cycle.

DCPS is not working miracles but they are OVERALL doing better. They are popular because the mayor has donors to please and the privatization of public schooling is lucrative. I know most non-teachers don’t give a crap about the politics but it’s here.

Truthfully DCPS would be doing better if they listen to the experts -teachers and the like, as well as valuable stakeholders outside of donors but parents. They make sure popular things like Spanish immersion, Reggio, Montessori, project-based learning, etc. are only at a handful of DCPS schools.

Then charters can sweep in like a beacon of hope, in W7/8 especially many DCPS schools are decrepit so why not choose the shiny looking charter?[/quote].
