[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're painting with too broad a brush. Our DCPS ES has clearly upped its game in the past decade to cater to IB families who stay. Sounds like you didn't stay for 5th. Also, Stuart Hobson offers much more advanced math and somewhat more advanced English than it did a decade back to serve IB families with kids who work at or above grade level.

It's not that nothing changes in DCPS to serve high fliers, it's that enough doesn't change (still no academic tracking for science or social studies). Charters have their own problems, often including weak facilities and subpar teacher pay/higher turnover than the better ES and MS DCPS programs.

You can call it whatever you want and DCPS is notorious for this with “advance” or “honors”.  It’s just grade level and far from advance.  Also I heard that the grade level English is gone since Covid.

Grade level should be the baseline, not the top and shows just how low the standards are in the system.  [/quote]
