[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a very happy Ross family.

I would agree that if there's a secret sauce, it's the fact that the school has the trifecta: an excellent, committed, forward-thinking leader in Holly Searl and amazing teaching staff, tons of community/family support, and a far easier population to educate relative to other DCPS schools.

I have heard from Ross friends that the SPED support is not great, in part because the staff is so small.

I did not hear similar complaints at another, also high-quality DCPS school my child previously attended. [/quote]

No SPED support? Why? Is it because the SPED students would drag down test scores?[/quote]

Well they don’t get to decide if a SPED student enrolls, so it’s in their best interest to provide the best support possible. I’ve worked at Title 1 and WOTP elementary schools and none did SPED well. At Ross at least you’re getting more individualized attention overall, and at a high performing school, the few kids behind get a lot more attention. [/quote]

They don't get to decide who enrolls, but they can push for kids to go to self contained classes and since they don't have those the kid has to go elsewhere.[/quote]
