[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS HS teacher here. Here is what your kid will miss:
- advanced math. A Calculus track won’t even be in the cards.
- Stable teaching staff. Teacher turnover rate at neighborhood schools can be atrocious.This is a HUGE factor. This means programs that a teacher loved and wanted to grow could just disappear when they leave. This also means less experienced teachers (generally) and the possibility of long term subs “teaching” your kid.
- AP preparation
- Stable admin. Turnover is high, so school culture is difficult to improve or even maintain year to year. This also means lots of random “initiatives” each year that don’t do much to improve student outcomes. [/quote]

DCPS teacher here seconding the above![/quote]

Are you MS or HS teachers?[/quote]

Elementary actually but I can second especially the impacts of teacher churn, the benefit of advanced math and the AP prep. I have also recently been a Wilson/J-R parent [/quote]
