[quote=Anonymous]My kids attended an upper NW DCPS elementary. Quite a few of the kids who couldn't hack it at our elementary and/or at Deal transferred into one K-8 or another along the way. There are many smart kids at the K-8s (for sure), but they are also used by families as a softer alternative for kids who are struggling academically in public. In contrast, the strongest public school kids all stayed in public through middle school. Anyway, what I'm saying is that[b] 20% heading on to the "Big3" from a K-8 is probably about right. [/b]The top 20% are probably appropriate for the elite, pressure cooker high schools. The K-8 schools have kids all over the academic spectrum, not unlike public schools. [/quote]
