[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to this middle school parent the benefit of the 4x4 schedule? Why does the system want to use it? I can't think of any upside, but clearly I'm missing something.[/quote] The primary benefit of the 4x4 system according to DCPS is that it allows students who fail classes more opportunities to retake those classes, thereby boosting on-time HS graduation rates. [/quote] Wilson's graduation rate is 90%. Is that considered problematic? And are kids really failing classes because they aren't learning or aren't attending? (If the latter, how does taking a class again help?)[/quote] I suspect it’s problematic as a matter of raw numbers for DCPS given how big Wilson is. [/quote]
