+1. The achievement gap gets much bigger from 2nd grade on up.  Most of the teachers time is spent working on bringing the bottom up.

Your above grade level kid will not have a peer group.  Giving worksheets or computer games with harder problems to the child is less than ideal as compared to having a similar peer group and being taught higher level academics.[/quote]

I don't doubt this, but really where are families that can't afford Ward 3 schools supposed to go? The neighborhood schools have achievement gap issues, the HRCS have complaints about weak academics in upper grades (which doesn't seem that different from achievement gap issues, except all of the higher SES kids are being under-educated in a group instead of individually), and there is no such thing as OOB seats for "Deal feeders" anymore. What are normal families supposed to do?[/quote]
