Why's that?

Because it treats its students poorly and a school that actually educated kids in dc needs that space.

That isn't how real estate works.

We are talking about real estate.

I believe building hope has some degree of ownership in the building.

It’s hard to keep a building if you can’t pay your mortgage and given the number of students at perry and the size of the building it is inefficient. Perry At Prep only got that building due to grants from DC. It should be given to lamb Pcs who is already there. Not some failing school who educates Maryland kids and mistreats special ed kids.

You guys are going to fall off your standup desk stools when PSP is Tier 1 next year.

I think you’re trying to be funny but you’re just not smart enough.

Have you met the turnaround team they hired after this? No? Didn't think so.

The article posted is 4 and a half years old. Perry Street is at 61 on the last PMF - just a few points shy of Tier 1. four years ago they were at 41. It does seem that they are on a significant upward trajectory.

Kudos to Maryland.

This is not correct. It is about 99% Maryland residents. Please check your facts before posting.

Funny, but also so frustrating. Anyone who drops off at LAMB can testify to the absolutely out of control number of Maryland residents dropping off at Perry.

They’re not convincing anyone. Look at the enrollment numbers.

Here is some excerpts from that PMF report:


In one observation a teacher continuously yelled at students who were on-task and behaving. In another observation the teacher spent over 40 minutes attempting to control the class by taking away ClassDojo points. Students began protesting when they felt the process was unfair, and their body language indicated feelings of hurt or insecurity.

The teacher’s interactions with students were inconsistent with warmth towards some and a curt tone towards other. In one observation a student tried to help his peer with a computer problem and the teacher yelled at the student for talking. In another observation the teacher took away ClassDoJo points from some students who were talking over one another while others talked without consequence. The students became frustrated and mocked the teacher.

Students in multiple observations did not complete the assignment during centers. One teacher corrected students’ use of materials but the student did not adjust their behavior and the teacher did not follow-up. Another teacher asked students questions in small groups but had to attend to classroom management issues before students could answer. Students moved about the classroom but only some students worked on the assignment. In other observations only some students contributed to classroom discussions while others asked their peers what should go on the worksheet to complete the assignment.

In these observations the entirety of the lesson was devoted to behavior management and students did not engage in a lesson.



In another observation there was no expectation for students to participate. The teacher told the students what to write for every question during the mini-lesson and then the class listened to an audiobook on tape for the remainder of the class period.


Kids deserve better. They should go back to their local schools in Maryland.

I dont care what percentage they gave them- the PMF report does not show a functioning school.

What PMF report are you talking about? The PMF shows them at 60.9.

I think they confused the QSR with the PMF.

Here is the qualitative site review from Dec 2017. https://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/report/2017-12-19%20Perry%20Street%20Prep%20QSR%20Report%20%2010.51.53%20AM.pdf

Way to selectively quote. Why don't your quote some of the distinguished observations... and compare the growth from their last QSR.
