[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Why don't you start with the DC-CAS? Nearly one-quarter of Latin students fail, meaning that they can barely read or do arithmatic, although they land in the same MS classes as kids working at a college level. Are one-quarter of the 6th graders, those failing the CAS, prevented from advancing to 7th grade? Hardly, my sources tell me that the kept-back rate is not even 5%. My kid, no genius or nose to the grindstone type either, scored 95% and 100% on the 3rd and 4th grade CAS tests respectively. We checked out both Latin and BASIS but are heading to a private for 6th. No confidence in the system past elementary, where uber educated parents virtually run the best schools. [/quote] Oh, so the DCCAS results are the proof of "social promotion"? Whatever, my child is not an advanced learner, so Latin is fine for us. The HS does have Honors classes which will be sufficient.[/quote]
