[quote=Anonymous]Yes, they are special. Because without an admissions test, the chances of someone randomly coming in off the lottery in a later grade who happens to be bright enough to hack it at a specialized school after years of a likely very subpar education at another DC public school is slim to none. To be sure, there are some kids who could handle coming in later but the school runs enormous risk that the students with the top lottery numbers in later grades are not that small handful of students. Students who attend since 5th grade work hard and even they can still struggle, so imagine the resources the school would have to spend catching people up who are years behind academically. It’s an unfortunate school system in DC where most public schools, especially middle and high schools, are so inadequate. Don’t blame the few schools actually providing a great education for the failings of our DC politicians. [/quote]
