OP Here. We have to remember that there are always new people coming on DCUM to learn about the schools. This gives them a starting point for DCPS Elementary Schools.

You need to cite your sources for this information if you want anyone to take it seriously. Not that they will anyway. Because it's ridiculous.

Tier rankings are for Charter schools; try again.

PTA is not a criteria for me. What about Key, Francis Stevens, and SWS? Hyde is a terrible school to me at the younger grades.

Actually Tier rankings are coming for all schools - thanks to ESSA. All DCPS and charters will be given a rank from 1-5 by OSSE using the same criteria for both.

That will be fun for this board, I'm sure.

Exactly. You come on here and title your thread "Top DCPS Elementary Schools" as if you are the single authority? And provide your list without any citations? You got some cojones, I'll give you that. Now go away.

I don't think many people will disagree that these are the best elementary schools in DCPS.

Based on the OP's criteria, which are nebulous (what does high fundraising mean, what does "decent test scores" mean, what does "motivated students" mean?), these schools are certainly strong schools. I disagree that the criteria the OP suggests are the only criteria that should be used. For example, Ross is a great elementary school, but it feeds into a crappy middle and high school, as do a lot of the Capitol Hill schools. Van Ness is on the list because of hype and high income parents. They don't even have test scores that should result in them being ranked on EITHER tier.

This list looks like a way to measure schools with wealthy white kids. No more, no less.

Exactly.

Many people come to DCUM to find out just that.

If you want to know where your kid can get a good education, that may be a different list.
