[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d recommend that you you look at affordable privates. Charter, DCPS, etc. all teach to the middle. There is nothing more disappointing than having advanced kids being stymied because a teacher is trying to kid the rest of the class to grade level. You can’t supplement an entire curriculum no matter what you do. DC’s lack of a magnet program is just sad. Just real advice from someone that just hit middle school.[/quote]

Oh sure, all those affordable privates.  We're Jewish and work for non-profits.  We wouldn't be comfortable at "affordable" parochial schools running families around 20K a year, even if we could afford that kind of dough for two kids.  We'll probably just move to the burbs.[/quote]

Well I can save you time! Privatedont offer much differentiation either. We left private school because of this. Why pay a lot of money to have your child bored and working on unchallenging material?![/quote]

but at private you are much more likely to have a class of peers. My kid is at a Title 1 school and the gap is already glaring in kindergarten.  Kids who know 50 sight words and kids who don't know the alphabet.[/quote]

It’s Kindergarten though! My kid didn’t know his letters and struggled with reading until 2 grade by 5th he was passing assessments (private school assessments not parcc in the 99th percentile nationally). Kindergarten is all over the place.[/quote]
