[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone,

My kid is in PK-4 at one of the NW DCPS. We did not use aftercare this year. We purchased a new home and kid will go to another DCPS from August, for K. 
I was comparing aftercare costs at the two schools, and was very surprised how much more it would cost at new school, like three times as much. How is this possible? Can you fill me in? Isn't aftercare (i.e. 3:15pm-6:30pm) uniformly priced in each DCPS?

Thanks! [/quote]

Sometimes you get what you pay for.    A few years ago there was a lot of talk about how Oyster had 2 programs on-site.  The subsidized and the private (with many more options for the kids).  It created a clear divide between the haves and the have-nots.  Hearst and Lafayette also have the private (PTA coordinated) and the DC Parks and Recs option.

We have been at a few different places and I can tell you that we have had expensive at a charter that was well run, expensive at a charter that was poorly run and expensive at a DCPS that is fantastic.
