[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did OP say she cared about PARCC scores?  I've never give a hoot about silly PARCC scores in many years in DCPS and I'm hardly alone.  Most Hill parents care that their elementary school kids can walk/bike/scooter to school, have a stable mostly UMC peer group, have a PTA that can afford wonderful extras, strong teachers, appealing extra curriculars and after care, and real challenge in the upper grades.

I can't count the number of neighborhood families we know who've pulled their kids from Watkins over the years after 1st, 2nd, 3rd grades after they lotteried into another DCPS or a charter, or left for a private. The situation simply never improves much.  By contrast, parents generally stay at Brent or SWS as long as they can.[/quote]

PP mentioned more advanced math available in 5th at Brent.  If so there's little evidence that it's paying off.

Watkins is the perennial punching bag on DCUM and the hyperbole is so far detached from the reality here ("roughed up?" - give me a break).  Why stick so far up your ass about Watkins?[/quote]
