[quote=Anonymous]Are you being sarcastic? My nephews attend a public MS in Arlington not 7 miles from SH. The school's percentage of at-risk students is much higher than SH's. Yet this school teaches 6th grade English on several levels and 8th grade English on four. Students at this school can qualify for "intensified" 7th and 8th grade classes in science, English, math (up to 8th grade geometry and Algebra II) and social studies (geography for HS credit in 8th grade) by earning good grades the year before. This might be a stupid question, but why in the world doesn't DCPS/SH support an academic tracking system like? Like a lot of in-boundary residents with kids, we wouldn't give a hoot if enrichment wasn't too hot at SH because we have great after-school/weekend options around the neighborhood for art, music, drama, dance, sports, you name it. We didn't get into Latin or BASIS and have no viable PS option but SH for 6th grade. [/quote]
