[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the younger parents — The Hill middle schools are not going to improve until they have a good high school feed. [/quote]

For the umpteenth time - younger parents - if you actually want to learn about middle schools, I think talking to people with kids at the school or visiting the school is a much better option than this forum. But if this is where you are starting, I agree with the poster a few up - not knocking those who have chose to go private or charter, but maybe a new thread could be started with parents who are at the current DCPS middle schools, and they can talk about/answer questions re: their experience. Not a place for people to argue why you should not go there - just a place to ask questions - sort of like an open house. 
 It was posted on a previous page but maybe needs to be repeated -- as somebody who has lived here 20 years, worked in education and who has had kids in the DCPS system for 8 years - the schools can and do change. And to echo what another poster said, there are high performing upper elementary kids who perform well due to the quality of the instruction and their abilities (not just $$ Tutoring) -- who are continuing to do well in middle school.

We're E Asian immigrants, Hill residents of a decade. We wanted to learn about the 3 Ward 6 middle schools. We made a point of visiting them during school hours this past spring. We didn't see a single E Asian-looking student, parent, admin or educator at any of the the schools and far down on WLs for BASIS and the Latins. We will be staying at our DCPS ES for 5th grade, then probably moving to the burbs. No amount of chat and research will create Asian peers for our children at EH, SH and J.  When will that change then?[/quote]
