[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at PARCC scores in wards 7 and 8 doesn't give you a full picture because many ward 7 and 8 students go across town to other highschools.[/quote]

Yes that’s why I asked about residents.

And the fear I have is that students from the rest of DC, especially high performers, aren’t going to go to Ward 7 or 8 for school in pretty much any circumstance I can imagine.

[b]If you read the WaPo story, they don't really want or expect families from other parts of the city to go there. They are doing this for students who live in Ward 7 and 8[/quote][/b]

That's no more true anymore than suggesting SWW doesn't want students from Wards 7 & 8[/quote]

D.C. partners with college [i]to offer associates degree to high schoolers in poorest neighborhoods[/i]

"...The city hopes [b]a liberal arts college curriculum can boost the performance of high school students living in neighborhoods with the District’s highest dropout rates and meet families’ demands for more rigorous education options in poorer areas of the city.

The Bard High School Early College would operate out of a vacant school building or an existing school in the District, though it would be a separate operation with its own principal and faculty.

The program is expected to be housed in a building east of the Anacostia River — the swath of the city with the highest concentration of impoverished children. The city said it will collect feedback from the public in coming months to determine the building it should select.

'With Bard High School Early College, we are answering the community’s call for more early college options and building new pathways to college for our young people,' Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said in a news release announcing the partnership Wednesday."[/quote]

try reading about the actual program and not the press release.   The program intends to provide college credit.  For some that could be sufficient to get an AB but that's not the intended end game.

If the program is successful and meets a need people will figure out how to get there, just as Ward 7 & 8 families now figure out how to get to schools throughout WOTR within the District [/quote]
