[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strongly disagree and we have lived EotP for 20 years. If you want to build a strong urban neighborhood school system you need to prioritize attracting residents of a school’s catchment area to the program, like the burbs do. All the crazy school commutes in DC are a real drag, as is insufficient middle school challenge for most middle class students. Weak partial language immersion options in DCPS after ES outside Adams are another losing proposition. [/quote]

If DCPS wanted more buy in from parents east of the park (I’m one of them) they would need to bring back test in advanced classes for high achieving students.   Middle school achievement gap is huge and middle school matters a LOT to get ready for high school, especially in math.   
Mixing 6th grade kids above grade level with kids two grade levels behind in o ce class is a disservice for all. But DC is focused only on equity or at least the appearance of it. They are closing the gap by lowering the ceiling.[/quote]
