[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see the advantages of a rigorous application school, but I'd rather see every schools capable of effectively serving students of any ability.  DC wants it both ways -- no accelerated schools but [u]offer little to meet needs of advanced learners in many MS and up[/u].

I don't want or need my child segregated on any level but I do need my child to be sufficiently challenged.  If DCPS can't figure out a way to effectively serve advanced learners it leaves me little choice but to pursue other options.[/quote]

I don't have children in DCPS MS or HS, so I'm wondering about the underlined part.  [b]Is it really true that DCPS doesn't do anything to support advanced learners?[/b]  I'd heard before that DCPS has honors/advanced classes within each school, which suggests that the more advanced students will get grouped in those classes.  Indeed, I'd heard that at schools like Wilson, there's almost a school-within-a-school, because the relatively small subset of honors-class kids effectively takes almost all of their classes together.  Is that accurate?  Or did I hear wrong?[/quote]

It's not completely true. Some schools have good options, while others don't.  [/quote]
