[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I teach AP and IBD high school humanities, have taught in DCPS, Fairfax and Arlington in the past 25 years. I know of what I speak when I report that there are no great high schools or middle schools in DCPS or DCPCS. There are mediocre high schools and middle schools, bad ones and catastrophic ones. Banneker, Walls, J-R, BASIS, McKinley, Latin, all thoroughly mediocre as compared to top suburban programs. Some DCPS and DCPCS graduates excel anyway, with a small number going on to IvyPlus colleges each year. If you can make DC public schools work for your family all the way up, more power to you. If you can't, you're a run of the mill high SES family in this Metro area, particularly if you're Asian.[/quote] As a teacher, what are you finding so different at the suburban programs vs DCPS/DCPCS that leads you to conclude the latter are all mediocre? Serious question. [/quote]
