[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as posters rightly point out, Ludlow-Taylor is a decent ES these days. But would I, Hill denizen since the 90s, pick it over Maury or Brent if I could land anywhere on the Hill?  No.

Ludlow has retained a bunch of old school teachers in the upper grades, who are still adapting to gentrification. We have close friends who quietly bailed from Ludlow to Bethesda last year, in the middle of 4th grade, after having started at the school in 3rd grade. They'd hit the wall with their child's classroom teacher and cohort. [b]Privately, they were tired of a PC vibe (emphasis on celebrating black history and culture)[/b], along with a focus on test prep.

Please, PTA resources matter, and many Hill parents care little about PARCC scores.  They know that the 10-hour-long test isn't well crafted, explaining why only DC still uses the "pure PARCC."  That's right, all the states that once used used the straight-up PARCC have dropped it in the last decade. Only DC sticks with the deeply flawed PARCC.

OP may be fine with Ludlow, but the school isn't as safe a bet as Maury or Brent. For one thing, Ludlow parents have no clue who the new principal will be, since the current principle just quit at very short notice. It's tough to get a strong DCPS principal into a school under the best or circumstances. These circumstances aren't the best.[/quote]
