[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I live in the neighborhood and have heard nothing *negative* about St Ann's.   The kids I've encountered (mostly in public space -- eg subway, groundbreaking for the library, at my DC's music lessons, through parents) have seemed really nice and very well-behaved.  Music lesson boy is smart, interesting, funny, and sociable.

Parent community is diverse (race/ec/neighborhood) and yet cohesive and very can-do.  Principal is friendly, well-organized/on the ball, and intelligent judging from the interactions I've had with her.

Kid art in the halls is lovely.  But I honestly don't know anything about the academics except that some smart people I know who value education send their kids there (different families).   A few years back I remember reading an interesting academic article comparing St Ann's and Janney (next door) and claiming St Ann's was a real model for a successfully diverse school.

This is one where I'd ignore DCUM and spend some time at the school and talking to parents and kids there.  That's probably the quickest and most reliable way to figure out if it's what you're looking for.[/quote]
