[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid there. Yeah, the school is least ideal for rising 8th graders, that's normal for the starter year, but things have improved from year to year. I do trust the admins who say that we'll be moving in one year to new campus. The plans right now for the new campus are pretty impressive, like a full kitchen for cooking lunches on site. My kid is looking forward to that, the lunch provider now is terrible. There are definitely lunch clubs, like chess on Thursday, some aftercare activities, student government, choir, the myriad options for arts block. My kid is enjoying it (though to be fair is pretty happy go lucky). Academically, strongest classes are social studies (Geography in 5th and Civics in 6th were amazing, by far most interesting). There will be math differentiation in 7th grade. There were also more than an average number of field trips (for a middle school in DC), two dances (and movie night for fifth graders). There are two different shuttles from Cap Hill, one from near Eastern Market and one from Sherwood Rec Center, so many of the kids are from this area, but also from Brookland, and then all around the city.[/quote]
