[quote=Anonymous]Look you have to accept the fact that DCPS sucks in math.  Period.  The teachung is poor, majority of kids at majority of schools are way below grade level.

It is so bad that majority of DCPS schools don’t even offer geometry in 8th.  Forget about Algebra 2.

So why would you expect strong math and STEM which requires lots of math in DCPS?  They just don’t have it.  They are trying to make Mckinley as a STEM school but can only do so much when kids come up the chain so, so weak.

The reality is that most kids strong in STEM leave DCPS.  That is why there is such a small cohort of advance math kids at JR.  That is why Walls is weak in math and STEM and more a humanities school.

If you want strong in STEM, right now it is DCI and Basis.  That is it.

Maybe in 5-10 years, Mckinley might get better.  But reality is by high school, it’s really late to catch up in math.  You need to do better and start earlier at the late elementary level or early middle school level.
