[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Particularly curious on thoughts from parents with upper elementary or just elementary kids at the feeder schools to this program. We are a bilingual family looking at Pre-K and I like what I see at a lot of these schools. I'm hoping that by the time we get there, enough families will stay to make this a real option. What are the families above us thinking and feeling?[/quote]

Let me guess, you are either relatively new to town and/or new to the DC school situation.

There is going to be no improvement to Macfarland in 5-10 years.  You might get a handful more of pioneer woke families.

You will find out soon enough all the issues/problems/dysfunction in DCPS by the time your kid gets to 2nd.

My kids are in high school now and I remember this exact 5-10 year trope of improvement BS from when they were entering DCPS for Pre-k. 
The bottom line is you have to do what works for your family at the time. Powell, Barnard, Bruce Monroe. They’re all fine. Until they’re not. Or they’re fine until you decide MacFarland won’t be. Or they’re fine and MacFarland is fine with you too. Ultimately with a 3 year old, you really don’t know. [/quote]
