[quote=Anonymous]new poster here. The old saying on this board was "First rule of Key, don't post on DCUM about Key." In many cases on this forum you get a lost of boosters or detractors about whatever school - and I'll dare to say it - often misinformation is spread. Key is great. A very community-centered feel (line up on the blacktop, kids/families staying to play on the playground after school etc). High test scores and lots of extremely bright kids. There is not a gifted/talented type of differentiation program like they have in some other school systems, but have found that there are high expectations all around. Like any school - there is going to be a range of teacher quality - but have found our kids have had good to some exceptional standouts. Like any DCPS school, there is a curriculum that the teachers - which can be frustrating esp starting in 3rd (again, this is across DCPS - public vs. going private). As another poster mentioned, currently most families do not go to Hardy (privates, charters, move), but that trend is changing fast and a lot of parents across the feeder schools are engaged in the future of Hardy - and the younger age enrollment at Key has been growing...
