[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll push back. DC is not like many cities. It is people who are rich and educated and their children and people who are poor and uneducated and their children.

The people in the middle or the overlap essentially do not exist, at least in testing.

The children of the poor consistently fail tests here. Teachers say it is because they are dealing with problems. I won’t contradict them. The children of the higher income families - very high income by American standards (maybe not by regional standards) tend to ace the tests.

So the idea that we would build a school for the ingenious children of the poor — it is a very nice idea that caters to no actual children, and would in effect serve as another benefit to higher income families.

I love the idea that these children might be out there, family income information and testing data show that they are not in DC. Perhaps in some suburbs. But not within DCPS’ service area.

This is a huge misconception. There are lots of kids in every DCPS school scoring 3s and 4s on PARCC. [/quote]
