[quote=Anonymous]Hi. We are an east of the river family and my children go to Leckie Education Campus. It’s a prek3-8th grade school and we have had a great experience so far.

Our school has a good before care program which was important to us as we both work. There are a lot of after school activities and tutoring opportunities. My children are lower elementary but I have noticed volleyball, soccer, archery, flag football, basketball so far this school year.

The PTA is very small but active. There are a decent amount of parent volunteers. We like the teachers and the specials teachers especially music, PE and art. The principal had a rough year last year as she started after the school year began but this year it is so much better.

There is an amazing outdoor garden and classroom, the best I have seen in dc.

When we were looking to buy we looked at 2nd st sw and darrington st sw. We are a small, quiet community and I feel very safe. The only complaint I have is people dump trash at the corner of 2nd st and Chesapeake however the community tries to clean it up. There are also ANC meetings located at the hospital every month and there are very active community members.

The school is pretty unique as it has a lot of military families that go to it and then of course neighbors. It works well.

Other than leckie, I have heard good things about Ketcham and Beers but I cannot answer any specifics about that school. [/quote]
