[quote=Anonymous]My kids have attended majority Hispanic DCC Elementary and middle schools. The Hispanic families value education, a lot. This and economic opportunity is why they came to the US. In my experience, they do not care about sending their kids to “elite” academic programs. They want their kids to be college prepared in schools close to home. They don’t care about parcc scores, elite colleges, etc. And if they are recent immigrants, they are used to hands off approach to education, that is school and teacher driven, not parent-driven. When MCPS figures out what these programs have to offer the typical poor and middle income Latino family (and offer more rigor at home schools so kids are prepared), maybe numbers will rise. The wealthier Hispanic families seem to strongly lean private- and are willing to sacrifice for it. They don’t want their kids on the mcps hamster wheel either.[/quote]
