[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I cannot afford to move out of the urban school my kid is in: I ideally would like to like in a suburb with good schools but I can’t afford it.

Issues I’m running into include my kid getting good grades, but testing very portly in math in spite of high grades. There are a lot of social and behavioral issues with the kids at my daughter’s school. A lot of the values amongst the other students don’t match the values i try to teach at home.[/quote]

You aren't going to be able to do anything about the other kids at your child's school and it's probably going to get worse as your daughter gets older. Find a school that seems to have the type of community that you want your daughter to be a part of. [b]If you are in DC, enter the lottery to try to switch schools for the 2025-2026 school year. If your child is in elementary, target schools that you have a good chance at getting in and which have decent middle and high school pathways.[/b]

What are these?[/quote]

Middle schools with >10 students passing the Algebra I or Geometry PARCC:

Deal, Hardy, Latin, Oyster-Adams, Stuart-Hobson, DC Prep Edgewood, Inspired Teaching, School Without Walls @ Francis-Stevens, Jefferson, Capital City

BASIS and DCI middle schools offer high school math but students don't take the corresponding PARCC. Both schools do, however, have the highest number of students passing the 8th grade PARCC.

Feeder elementary schools for the DCPS schools above that offered seats to more than 20% of 3rd-5th grade applicants in SY22-23 and SY23-24:

Lafayette, Hyde-Addison, Mann, Stoddert, J.O. Wilson, Ludlow-Taylor, Watkins, Ross, School Without Walls @ Francis-Stevens, Thomson[/quote]
