[quote=Anonymous]This is the fear: DCPS is very focused on closing the achievement and opportunity gap between low- and high-performing students. It needs to be. BUT there is a concern that a middle school with a large concentration of at-risk students might be only focused on and spread thin addressing the educational needs of lower performing students while letting the smart kids languish failing to grow to their fullest potential. There is some collective action problem because people start to leave and/or lottery for charter schools and others get nervous and do the same. DCPS has not done much in terms of middle school programs or marketing to demonstrate that it really cares about kids at all levels.[/quote]
