Are there any EOTP elementary schools (non-charter) that are great past K?

If OP is asking for only great EOTP past K, I'd say only

Ross
Shepherd
Brent
Maury
LT

In that order. I give Shepherd edge over Brent because they have IB program and perform the same with triple the low income students.

There's no reason to compare them but since you did, Brent's scores are actually higher

You're right. For 2014 CAS Brent had 2 more overall points than Shepherd. Shepherd had three times the FARM students. Ross also outperforms Brent with more Econ diversity. I don't know why you have to be so defensive about one person's personal opinion. Didn't put down Brent. I would send my kid there in a heart beat. I'm not at either school but have done a lot of research for lottery purposes and I stand by my statement. Shepherd is an IB school, has middle/high school option (less attrition), and performs better in m my opinion taking into account Econ disadvantaged.

I was answering the question in my opinion. I'm glad to hear that it's growing more popular with IB families. To another PP, as someone that lives lower NW it's a lot easier to get to Shepherd for us than Brent.

A better question is how many are great beyond 1st/2nd. Or 3rd. Or 4th.

Sadly, even present for 5th?

You can get lucky at a charter or go private. Even on the Hill, there is no future past elementary.

Which charters have solid middle school options?

No defensiveness here, my kid doesn't attend either school - but why are you referring to 2014 scores when 2015 scores have been released?

Because PARCC is hard to view on an iPhone. I recall there being similar differences. Again, with demographics, Shepherd looks better on paper. A lot better.

NP here. Shepherd also has Deal and Wilson. What are Brent's IB MS and HS again?

This. I wonder why this is the case. Also Ross also seems like a sweet little school. And rooting for LT.



Overall, though, I'm glad there are starting to be several viable options EOTP.

Shepherd is not an easy school to get to for much of the city. It is 2 blocks off of 16th St but the general city population who is considering it is a much narrower band.

Agree that it is hard to get to for many, which is why I think it's not more popular as far as waitlists. My child attends and I'd say most OOB classmates are from relatively close by--Takoma, Brightwood, etc. I've met a few far-flung families but not many (Petworth, far eastern Ward 5).

True. Although I think I remember Ross having better test scores for minority children which is important to me. Then again, their sample size is probably a fraction of Shepherd's.
