[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To each her own.

I don't see my kids as being challenged academically in K in a peer group that's overwhelmingly high SES.  I don't really mind at this age because she's a shy introvert who's getting strong support for much needed social/emotional development.  But I'm having a great deal of trouble imagining her being challenged, let alone pushed, much further down the line after many, if not most of her high SES peers have peeled off from DCPS.  This is a city without formal GT programming in public elementary and middle schools.  Boosters will tell you that their kids are consistently challenged at SH, on track to gain admission to Walls and Banneker.  But when I see tutors trooping in and out of the homes of neighbors with kids at SH, and the kids being shuttled off to academic summer camps, I doubt that we'll still be on board by middle school.  Also, I'm with the PPs who don't like the rowdy behavior of some of the SH students we see around the neighborhood.  Comportment just isn't the school's strong suit.
