Starting in 7th grade, we invited students and families to engage in a careful and intentional inquiry into the high school landscape in DC through our High School Application Support program. 34 families chose to participate, and of these, 100% successfully completed the MySchoolDC application, 85% chose to apply to at least one selective school in DC, and they fared very well!

Seven ITDS 8th graders plan to attend School Without Walls
Two or three plan to attend Banneker
Two plan to attend Duke Ellington
Two plan to attend McKinley Tech
Two plan to attend Phelps Academy
This year, we also made sure families were aware of the many exceptional independent school options in DC, and 13 of our 8th graders applied to 12 different independent schools--again, with great success. Two ITDS 8th graders have accepted spots at Maret and Templeton Academy; eight others were accepted or waitlisted at these and other highly selective schools, including Georgetown Day School, St. John’s, Elizabeth Seton, the Field School, Edmund Burke, Dematha, Gonzaga, and Sidwell Friends.

SEVEN at Walls? Cripes.

Where did you get this info?

I think it would be 9, but I know two that decided for private over Walls.

Can you forward to the families list? Seems like elementary parents didn't get it.

Sorry I’d rather not. It went to the whole school. Check your junk. It’s titled Welcome to ITDS, Dr. Riggins!

VERY exciting! As a parent of a younger ITDS middle school student this makes me hopeful.
