[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mainly in the Takoma, Brightwood, Brightwood Park, Petworth and Fort Totten neighbohoods. Where do folks send their 10, 11 and 12 year olds? We are in a feeder for MacFarland and want to take a hard pass on  it.

Currently in the 3rd grade and hope to "win" the lottery for a feeder with a decent MS.

Why won't you give McFarland a chance to mature before you "hard pass".  You are very lucky to have a center feeder.  [/quote]

We think the English-only path won't be supported or as rigorous as the Spanish track. [/quote]

Greetings!  I am the 8th grade ELA teacher at MacFarland.  I strongly encourage you learn more about the academic programs we offer before jumping to conclusions about the academic programs we offer.  [/quote]

Ha!  The sentence I wrote is a mess!  Not a good look for the ELA teacher, but you get my point.  Please take the time to learn about our school community. [/quote]

We can see your demographics for ourselves, and we know that the achievement gap isn't a gap, it's a chasm.  We also know that MacFarland doesn't offer a test-in program for students who work at or above grade level.

Sadly, you can market your school cheerfully without being able to offer us what we're looking for.  [/quote]

NP. So demographics is destiny, end of story? :roll: The ELA teacher asked you to look at their academic program offerings. Where is there a test-in program in DCPS for MS anywhere?[/quote]
