[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Ummmm, not to let "data" and "facts" get in the way, but you have no idea what you are talking about. Based on last released DC data, there are more kids IB for Wilson at BASIS than from Dunbar. There are more kids IB from Hardy and Deal catchments (combined) at BASIS than from SH. Deal and SH send almost the same number of kids to Latin (41 vs 42). Almost the same number of Wilson kids as Dunbar (49 vs 50).

You remind me of that amazing Stephen Colbert performance at the WH Correspondence Association where he explained "truthiness". You are uneducated. Go away. [/quote]

NP.  There are a number of families in ward 3 also sending their kid to DCI for middle/high school over Deal/JR[/quote]
