[quote=Anonymous]My perspective as a DCC parent is that Einstein's challenges have little to do with issues of school quality or base area community but - 1) limited seats at Einstein have meant that high-achieving kids who want to attend may not get their choice and 2) Sligo MS has been a weak link in recent years and kids who have not been adequately challenged through 8th grade are very receptive to RM's IB or Blair's CAP programs. By comparison, the W's don't have choice programs that allow kids to leave via lottery and also have programs in place such as WJ's APEX to retain kids who would otherwise apply to RM, etc. So perhaps Eistein's admin can take a page from WJ and CAP and allow a core of kids (WJ's APEX is 60 per grade, CAP is 75) to apply to the IB. A program that encourages the kids who want the challenge to be part of a self-selected group would add another attractive option within the DCC. [/quote]
