[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question-  if I was looking for a school for next year I would not likely send my student to the regular program at Coolidge but would consider the early college program. This is not out of safety concerns (I live 2 blocks away) but due to academic achievement.  That said I am cautiously optimistic about improvement over time.  There have only been a few years since renovation, change in feeder pattern to create Ida B Wells middle and reboot of the school that have not been affected by COVID.  I feel confident enough to stay in the neighborhood at a feeder elementary that is doing an amazing job with my child.  I am planning for my student to attend Ida B Wells (and personally know kids there- not just the aggregate test scores).  There are options for HS and I’m not going to stress about it 8 years early.  Others make different choices which is fine.  [/quote]

There were 13 kids total across 9th and 10th grade scoring proficient in math last year, including the early college program students.

There are presumably zero students who have actually earned an associate's degree through it, or else DCPS would be saying something, and there'd probably be a Post article.

What's going on there?[/quote]

This is actually not true. The first class finished last year https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/03/27/dc-early-college-coolidge-trinity/ .

You also don't have their PARCC data as they were in 9th grade 2019-2020 school year. So their 9th grade year, no testing. Their 10th grade year, no testing. Their 11th grade year, there was testing, but they were already at Trinity and no longer taking PARCC. Last year, same thing as 11th grade. Please only speak of what you know! [/quote]
