[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why some schools, like Latin or Basis, start in 5th grade when most (all?) DC elementary schools go through 5th grade. Anyone know why?[/quote] Because they asked to and the charter school board allowed them to. They say it's to give them another year to get kids ready for high school. That may be part of it but it's also so they have less competition.[/quote] No kids at either school but it’s really so they can try to get some of these kids who are so behind extra support and ready to 6th. Also to help kids develop executive functioning skills, organization, etc.. I doubt the initial goal was less competition. Less competition than what? Eastern, Jefferson, Cardoza, or MacFarland??? Come on.[/quote]
