[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey PP, thank you for sharing your concerns about your DCPS vs. MV.  We are likely going to have the same choice this summer and I'm feeling the same way.  And I'm super disappointed about what happened yesterday at the Council.  Dysfunctional puts it mildly.  It's a really tough time.  [/quote]

We have enrolled at MV and no regrets.  DCPS in general is a mess, dysfunctional, and way more unstable when it comes to any competent and transparent leadership.  A few schools may be the exception but in general when it comes to meeting the needs of the kids above grade level, they could care less and don’t listen to parents. All they care about is closing the achievement gap and pulling up the kids at the bottom.  ECE May be OK but wait till you get to upper elementary.........[/quote]

I wish you the best of luck but am curious why would you think MV will be any different?  My child at MV tested at reading level Z at the beginning of the year (the highest level they measure) and when we asked about how they'd support her growth throughout the year we got a puzzled look. She was simply one less kid they had to worry about.  Our request for advanced level book recommendations went unanswered.  The entire school library had 2 books on level Z, which she read way back in September.  I have no sense that she gained any critical reading skills this entire school year. On top of that, her teachers had to spend most of the day dealing with a handful of kids with extreme discipline problems (think throwing chairs in the classroom). It feels like a lost year.

What grade? Our teacher brought in books (with her own money!) for the handful of kids who are two grades ahead. In a previous class, there was a parent drive for more advanced Spanish books.[/quote]
