[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who went through elementary school in dc at a reputable charter school. And are heading to middle school next year. We stuck with one school through all their admin disruptions because we liked teachers and community. But in retrospect, as I compare academics to friends whose kids went to DCPS, I have to say I wish we had gone the DCPS route. The academics after 3rd grade are much better at for example Barnard and Shepherd elementary compared to any ward 4/5 charter school. If I were to do it again I’d skip the charter hype for sure. Each individual school just doesn’t have enough oversight to make it a reliable experience from year to year. [/quote]
