[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]community[/b]. 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] My DS also was in a supposedly reputable charter school in EE that we thankfully escaped from before MS. I would have gladly traded strong academics for community. Community is totally overhyped in elementary school. [/quote]
