[quote=Anonymous]I have news for you. No one in Ward 3 knows or cares when the charter middle schools start, because no one is considering sending their kids there anyhow. Ward 3 kids have a viable DCPS path to Deal or Hardy, which most parents consider far preferable to any charter school. Very very few Ward 3 kids leave ES after 4th grade. Stop blaming the Hill 5th grade problem on charter schools and hold DCPS accountable for failing to provide families with viable DCPS options for MS. The charters are correct that they need the 5th grade year to catch many students up, after a lackluster DCPS ES education. This might not apply to kids coming from Brent/Maury/LT, but certainly applies to kids coming from elsewhere. Plus the 5th grade year is a true gift to Hill parents who strike out in the lottery because it gives them a year to work on Plan B. [/quote]
