Congrats to Seaton and Yu Ying for being recognized as among the healthiest schools in the country! They are the only DC schools to make the list.

Fixed it for you.

Not a chance these are the only two schools in DC that meet the criteria:

Meet or exceed federal nutrition standards for school meals and snacks

Offer breakfast daily

Implement district wellness policies and update progress annually

Provide students with at least 60 minutes of physical education per week and ensure physical activity throughout the school day

Hilarious. What a random thing to be jealous about!

I have friends with kids at YY and are very happy there; I think it's a good school. But Yu Ying parents (and probably staff) spend an inordinate amount of time applying for awards, grants, etc., many of which other schools never even hear about.

This is why YY always wins "best school" in the Washingtonian. The parents push it heavily on social media and vote and vote for it.

I'm not saying YY isn't a "healthy" school. But when you point out that it and Seaton (about which I know virtually nothing) are the "only" schools in DC to make the list, that is almost certainly because they're the only ones that applied.

Another note: not a single school in Colorado made the list. CO usually tops the lists of healthiest states.

What a random thing to brag about

Thank you. That context really does help. I know nothing about yy but am at seaton, which is a pretty low key, humble title 1 school that happens to be passionate about healthiness, so it didn't seem random to me.

Ludlow-Taylor definitely meets those criteria. This is just a dumb internet poll.

The YY boosters have too much time on their hands.

Isn't offering breakfast daily to all kids something you find more often at high FARMs schools? This is a weird list.

The criteria are more detailed than this. For example, schools can't use physical activity or prohibit physical activity as punishments. So if your school withholds recess as a punishment, they would not meet this criteria. Schools have to have a school health committee that meets at least four times a year, etc.

Anything that encourages all schools, not just the high FARMS ones, to offer daily breakfast is a good thing.

Good for them! I am all for some positive DCPS/DCPCS news (or any positive new about anything, really).

What's creepy is a BS immersion program with a handful of kids who speak the target language and a head of a decade who can barely speak it madly defended at every turn by PA boosters who don't have a clue about Chinese culture or language. Like learning English in the Soviet Union during my childhood there. We thought our English was good. Then we immigrated to this cuontry and realized that it sucked.
