[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think McKinley Tech is a good school. Hope my kid applies.

Most important thing to do right now OP is to make sure your kid doesn't blow off or not take PARCC seriously this year.[/quote]

Thank you PPs!  I'm more concerned that DC is not sufficiently enthusiastic about math and science, despite good enough test scores...  Seems like everyone I know thinks their kid will get into Walls, and that's not mathematically possible so I'm considering what's actually realistic.  [/quote]

I htink you are smart to think about a plan B.

You should take them to an open house. The students are impressive.

Banneker, Bard and Coolidge Early College Academy are worth a look too, as is WLA (but that's even more tech-focused than McKinley Tech - e.g. a computer science or app dev class is required every year).

My hope is that the expanded supply of seats will mean happy outcomes for many more kids.  I'm always perplexed when people say McKinley Tech is too tech-focused.  Surprise, that's what "Tech" means!  It's not McKinley Poetry, right?

I also noticed that EC Coolidge did not fill the majority of its seats... so what happens, are they still going to open the program with just so few kids?  I'm eager to see how it goes.

Does anyone know much about Museum Studies at Ellington?  Is that terribly hard to get into? [/quote]
