Leaving DC Schools

| We hate our so-called HRCS that we were so "lucky" to lottery into and our inbound DCPS is a nonstarter. We are leaving next year with plans to put our home up for sale next Spring. We tried to work within the system but it is truly a drowning ship. Anyone else who lives outside of Ward 3 feel the same way or are there some hidden jewels that I am missing? |

Are you just venting on your way out the door, or do you want recommendations for other schools? If the latter, it may help to name the school; otherwise you may be getting recs for the very school you're leaving. Will also help to know what you didn't like and what you're looking for. |

Hate is a strong word - can you give us more information? |

I feel like it's a constant struggle at our EOTP DCPS, but the principal and teachers have been willing to accommodate and work with us on improving things. Today, I feel like we're in a good place, but most of the time it's a struggle. |

| Maybe you could be specific about what your complaints are with your HRCS and why your IB school is a non-starter. That way you'll get more substantial assistance and less mockery. |

| We lotteried into west of the park DCPS. It's pretty damn good. The schools are very different, but each one has positives. There are negatives, but so far we're managing. |

| Just because a school is thought to be great doesn't mean it's a fit for your little one and your family. Collect your thoughts and list the issues and maybe there are recommendations. Moving to the suburbs may not solve your issues. I know a few families that believed that only to be disappointed. |

| OP, I mean this as nicely as I can...you just just cut bait and move. Stick with your guy feeling on this. Some families are game for the ups and downs and others are not. That's totally fine. |

| I want to move now, but waiting for DH to digest the reality of DCPS/DCPCS. |

We love our EOTP dual-language school, but wish the bridge could be broken between the two parent groups. That's really the only set-back for us, but we are making it work.
What are your complaints? |
