[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster. This thread has woken me up to the reality that this city could really use the International Baccalaureate equivalent of SWW. This application school could work as a school within a school program AT Walls. None of the established DCPS or DC Public Charter IB programs sound like they serve the best IBD students well.

Good luck with that. DCPS put IB at Eastern to attract Cap Hill families who said that's what would make them enroll. They didn't enroll. DCPS will -- and frankly should -- say that the Eqstern program would improve if the students came.

I don't think they will throw more money at IB, especially IB for 'the best' students. That's not the priority in a city with thousands of students at risk and performing well below grade level. [/quote]

Yes, yes, nothing is a priority for DCPS but raising PARCC scores for low SES minority kids who need remediation. I don't expect DCPS to see the light--the leadership isn't modern, flexible, pragmatic, strong or visionary--but the demand is real and the possibilities to expand IBD to give the burbs a run for their money are boundless (without breaking the bank).
