[quote=Anonymous]It seems like all of DC outside Ward 3 is interested in academic success for middle schoolers, but only where gentrification has occurred are there people demanding acceleration. In Ward 7 and 8, except for those sending kids westward, parents seem to want schools that will do better than DCPS at getting achievement out of their kids. Unfortunately because this is anonymous I will say that the tie between parent academic success and child success is strong, so we have a bunch of charters in Wards 7 and 8 not delivering any better results than DCPS despite obviously trying something different. I think ultimately the demand for tracking is coming from parents who were tracked in secondary schools themselves, either within a school or a larger school system.[/quote]
