[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In every single classroom at our Focus School, there are at least 2 groups of kids reading above grade level.  Usually one group reading at least 1.5 years ahead, and one group reading ahead of grade level but not quite as fluently as the first group.

The difference is that there is ALSO a group of kids reading at or below grade level but in our years with multiple kids at the same school, I've never had the sense that teachers ignored my middle-class high performing kids, or didn't work with them. [/quote]

And at Cold Spring Elementary EVERY reading group is reading above grade level. Some are 2 grades above level although they keep them in the top level of the following grade as a new MCPS rule. I volunteer there weekly.

So you saying at least 2?  Big deal.  I doubt there are any non-Title schools where at least half aren't above. Most schools have above level for the involved families and below for the poor and illegal immigrant families. The whole reason you get funding. Teachers are supposed to teach more to the kids that do not get help at home. Because we don't hold parents accountable anymore. Instead we pity them and we blame teachers, politicians, and government for our child's lack of learning.

It's not surprising that one of the richest schools in MCPS has virtually every kid reading above grade level.  That's great, and predictable.  The question, though, is whether you HAVE to be at Cold Spring to get enriched above grade level.  The answer is no.  Diverse schools can also meet the needs of high achieving kids, and do.
