[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bard Early College HS was placed in Ward 8 specifically to give advanced students in Ward 7 and 8 a closer option compared with Banneker or Walls. I have no information on how that school is doing. It was tiny but hopefully it has expanded over time [/quote] Coolidge Early College program was opened for the same reason and to attract high performers to Coolidge. Their partnership is with Trinity University, DC. 2 years at Coolidge and 2 years at Trinity. Neither of these programs have gained traction unfortunately. All you hear about still is Walls and Banneker. I personally think it was a mistake for DCPS to open two early college programs at the same time. Our middle schools are not strong enough to generate a pipeline of advanced learners who are ready to transition to college after 10th grade. And most parents including me just want access to a strong high performing comprehensive high school - not early college, etc.[/quote]
