[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two dozen schools to love up to 3rd grade (we loved Brent), after which the challenge falls off for the brightest and most discplined kids in almost every case.

Few schools to love for 4th and 5th for advanced learners/GT and nothing but OK compared to privates and suburban options.

Middle-class parents claim they love DCPS and DC Charter middle and high schools because they're attached to their urban lifestyles, not because any DC public school is wonderful for grade 6+ for high-performing kids when compared to the better suburban schools, not by a long shot.  Facilities, ability grouping and teaching are uniformly weak by comparison.

Hope you can swing a private after ES.  You'll go later if you can afford to.   Challenge for the brightest teenagers isn't a priority for DCPS.   Preserving AA middle-class jobs (including for lousy teachers), keeping under-enrolled neighborhood schools open, prepping low-SES kids to pass proficiency tests, and shielding low-SES kids from competition by high-SES peers are the priorities.   Doubt it at your kid's peril.

Oh Lord!  Why do you persist in coming on every DCPS and DCPCS threads to repeat yourself.  It is trite.  This is a thread about raving, not bashing.  Now please go back to your suburban or private school.
