Washington Latin to St. Ann's in Tenley?

[Anonymous]

The rumor mill says WAshington Latin has a Letter of Intent for St. Ann's for either Jan. 2016 or July 2016. Back to Ward 3. Any confirmation?

[Anonymous]

My understanding is that is is going to Catholic Charities.

Under what scenario would Washington Latin need the space at St. Ann's?

Washington Latin did a major renovation, has fields, space that is tailored for students who are in Middle and High School.

St. Ann's is going to be the Janney annex, if DCPS ever enforces the 10% "at risk" quota kids requirement (which is doubtful doubtful)

[Anonymous]

Why would Latin move when they have a permanent space?

You may have your church / state understanding all bunched up. Lafayette isn't going to annex Blessed Sacrament, either.

Latin has been quietly investigating a satellite middle school campus. They are finding their retention rate from middle to high is not enough to fill the high school. They need more middle schoolers because they don't really accept new students for high school..

why do charter schools get MORE money and satellite campuses if they have demonstrate that they cannot retain students? that is a waste of public money.

Not a Latin parent here.

From what I understand Latin is doing middle school very well and is significantly oversubscribed. Why would you want to preclude it from expanding what is working to serve the vast middle school gap in DC?

They don't need another MS charter in ward 3. They need one in ward 6!

How many MS charters are in Ward 3?

I shouldn't have stated charter. It should be MS options period. They've got Deal and Hardy, which are the two better public options. Plus, they have pretty easy access to Basis and Latin - located in Nw. Ward 6 in the other hand, continues to get screwed from a funding perspective and no charter option in sight.

Tenleytown is definitely in the corner of the District. How about they check out Metropolitan Day School, as mentioned in another thread? It just closed. At 13th and Randolph NE.

What Wards are Basis and 2Rivers in?
