[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The problem with this, from DCPS's point of view, is that it shuts down an escape route for lower-SES families from dismal neighborhood schools. When >50% of DCPS students can't perform at grade level, that's a more glaring, demanding, urgent issue than satisfying the Brent parents. It's already a given that the majority of those parents will choose Latin or Basis over SH even if it were an option.[/quote] The disparities need to be addressed, but I wouldn't want my kids in a school where 100% of kids are simply at grade level. Proficiency needs to be the floor, not the ceiling. If DCPS feels its mission is straight mediocrity that's the trade-off, because Latin and Basis aim higher. The Ward 3 schools aim higher.[/quote]
