[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other questions: How does differentiation work (if at all)? In class, with pullouts, different classes? What if a kid is significantly above or below grade level, how does that impact their approach? What's their approach to teaching kids to read? How much homework and at what grades?[/quote] You sound like every parent dealing with lottery for first time. DCPSactually does PK really well. We ended up in our local title 1 (not in my top 6 choices) and ended up staying. Now I’m 4th grade. Shut out of lottery every single year. However, we have been so happy at the school! Tight knit, kind lids and awesome teachers. Bottom line there is only so much research you do. You also have no idea what kind of student you PKer will be. As for differentiation, it’s BS in most schools. The achievement gap is big and only gets bigger by second grade, especially at a title 1 school. Our main reason for trying to lottery out is for a middle school feed.[/quote]
