[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think it's positive that the at-risk population is in the single digits in view of the chronically weak support for advanced learners in DCPS. If the system offered the type of smart and well-resourced interventions for low-performers that MoCo and Fairfax do, I wouldn't mind having more at risk students in my kids' classes. As things stand, our Hill school's PTA must raise the dough to pay for pullout groups helping academic stragglers. It's a truly crappy system that works because our parents fund raise like mad, have the means to contribute to the PTA budget generously and do it, unfailingly, year in and year out. When I took a practice 3rd grade PARCC test recently, I was appalled by the poor design of the test, particularly the ELA sections. I could care less how my kids scores on PARCC - I don't even look at their scores. I know exactly where they are with math (well above grade level, qualifying for Johns Hopkins CTY camps). [/quote]
