[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i've heard some good things re jefferson middle school in particular.  "Jefferson offers accelerated and intervention courses for students at all levels, as well as a variety of enrichment courses - including Project Lead the Way and Coding."  i don't myself really understand why in-bound dcps elementary school families often choose to commute to really far to latin or to attend basis instead.[/quote]

Because of the high school path, duh. And most of the students and families at these schools appear satisfied with their children’s education. 
Is that quote from Jefferson? Beware marketing speak, the reality rarely measures up.[/quote]

I have never heard that and the few times parents respond on here they say they tried it and pulled their kid mid year or after one year. Said its chaotic,  the oveall academic ability is very low in many of the students[/quote]

All the families I know who skipped their local middle school ( not Jefferson) was because of the high school path - in this case Cardozo. People want some certainty after middle and if they think their kid will not get into a magnet school and they don't want to pay for private high school then going to Basis it is. [/quote]
