[quote=Anonymous][quote=socool17]My daughter's in bound school is Backus. The ratings for this school are poor, from what I'm reading. I was going to list them...but as selection 12.[/quote] "The ratings" may not give you a full picture. For one thing, most DCPS do early childhood education fairly well. The curriculum is very standardized, naps are built in, most activities occur in the classroom, and class sizes are small. "The ratings" probably means test scores, which only apply to grade 3 and above. 3yo do not take standardized tests. My advice is to go to the school and ask for a tour. I don't see any open houses listed on their MySchoolDC profile, so maybe call and ask if there are any scheduled soon. Make your own decisions based on actually seeing the school. If you list them as #12 and get in, which is likely, you will remain on the waitlist for the 11 schools you rank above it. [/quote]
