| Janney has kids who are cheating. To think they don't is really short sighted. Not everyone is listed in the directory (we never are) and not everyone does play dates and/or birthday parties (which can be done at many places besides a house). |

JKLM ... M?!
Murch is not in this league, but maybe in 5 years or so. |

| I would not send my kid to Janney if someone paid me. The posters on this board make my stomach hurt. |

One less child to overcrowd the school.

Murch has been a top 5 DCPS school since the 1970s, when I attended. The neighborhood where the kids come from (Forest Hills, Wakefield, a little bit of Chevy Chase) has not changed in that time. You are welcome. |

^^ this posting went from interesting to slightly funny to absolutely depressing. Demeaning tiny elementary kids who go to fine schools is deplorable. It seems like the parents are really the bullies. How do you discipline your kids when they berate others?
DCPS is one of the lower performing districts in the country. There is plenty of work that needs to be done to improve the schools. The ones that are being discussed are highly desirable within this system. We always wanted to sent our child to public school for the early years because of the exposure to different kinds of people who share our values that a quality education should be available to all. What I am seeing here is unchecked privilege and a sense of entitlement that is sickening and shouldn't be tolerated in any school system, let alone a public system. We are seriously thinking of an elite private because the values of humility, citizenship, and commitment to diversity may be much stronger than anything I am seeing on these boards. |

No offense, but there's a divide between the others and Murch. (Murch is still a fine school, I'm sure, but it's not the same as the others.) For the record, I think Stoddert is ahead of Murch (and Lafayette), behind some ordering of Janney, Key and Mann. |

No offense taken. Murch is in the "same league" as Key, Janney, Lafayette and Mann. Its DCCAS scores are lower (the lowest?) of that group of 5. I'm not going to go through the demographic differences again between, say, Mann and Murch or Janney and stoddert other than to say those differences line up almost exactly with dccas scores. |

Is "demographic differences" the phrase used at Murch like "diversity" is used at Hearst? You can't go wrong at any of these schools. We are lucky to have them as an option. |
