[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at PARCC scores in wards 7 and 8 doesn't give you a full picture because many ward 7 and 8 students go across town to other highschools.[/quote]

Yes that’s why I asked about residents.

And the fear I have is that students from the rest of DC, especially high performers, aren’t going to go to Ward 7 or 8 for school in pretty much any circumstance I can imagine.

If you read the WaPo story, they don't really want or expect families from other parts of the city to go there. They are doing this for students who live in Ward 7 and 8[/quote]

If that’s the plan, the best way to look at this is that they’ll be taking motivation over qualification. Which is often a good choice, but will mean a struggle for staff and students. [/quote]

Why would it be a struggle to teach motivated students?  [/quote]

Because their academic level would vary widely, with most significantly behind.  Because of how poorly DCPS has served them.  They are probably delightful kids but to get them onto a true Early College level in four years seems like it would take a ton of work and funding.[/quote]
