[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went through SWS and while we loved a lot about the school, needed to supplement for spelling, grammar and white history.[/quote]

Yep. We loved a lot too and felt the same way. The last one I can sort if see how it happened with the city population/leanings plus getting caught up in broader trends, but I'm still scratching my head on why the first two slipped. [/quote]

The first two slipped because SWS stopped focusing on academics in favor of focusing on Black history for the entire school year.

It’s still worth it for the cohort though for many who have worse DCPS IB options. [/quote]

Wow is it really that extreme? I plan to put SWS pretty high, but they definitely rubbed me the wrong way at open house with the way they talked about race and particularly splitting the kids into “affinity groups” where, as an example, the white kids are reading some book about white supremacy. My children are biracial and so it’s particularly troubling to me that they think neo-segregationist stuff in elementary school is the answer.[/quote]
