[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your school a DCPS school?[/quote]

OP here. It's a DCPS Title I elementary. Wonderful experienced staff and long-serving administration but not located in an area with a lot of families with littles so no way to really rally the "community" around the school - it's pretty tiny. To be clear, no one has told me they are in danger of closing so I may just be paranoid. Would rather not give the name.

It is not my IB, which is frankly, a very poorly performing school I've basically never seen mentioned on DCUM. So if that's where we are sent, it's lottery or burbs. This forum has many many flaws but thanks to DCUM I have an excellent idea of where I'd try to get in. I'd just rather stay put. [/quote]

I get the reluctance to name the school, but it's very hard to give targeted thoughts without knowing! I think there are people on the committee who sometimes peruse this site, so if you name it, you may be able to get intell.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks. I appreciate that it's hard to give targeted thoughts without the name. I'd still rather not except to say it's not regularly mentioned on DCUM.

The principal has been there for over a decade, is committed to the school, very respected by the district, and beloved by parents. Very few teachers leave because they love working for her. I do not want her replaced. No one does.

The falling enrollment has absolutely nothing to do with her and everything to do with changes to the location during the pandemic. (School is probably pretty obvious by this point if you know DCPS well, but I don't want to confirm anyone's guess). I would love to see its boundary expanded, though not sure where they'd draw from. What are other possibilities for a school with a strong track record, desirable middle school feeder, but falling enrollment? [/quote]
