[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS went there (in a selective HS now) and we loved it. He still volunteers there with some of the sports. Offerings, particularly afterschool and sports, are growing thanks in large part to an active cohort of parents and strong communication with school leadership. The staff are generally great, very supportive of the kids in academics and social-emotional.

DS enjoyed the schoolwide enrichment model (allowing for "clubs" baked into the school day), college tours, extensive HS application prep support, taking Algebra 1 in 8th grade. (Some kids take Geometry at Coolidge.) They also have the only middle school CTE program for cosmetology in DCPS, with a complete beauty salon/barber space.

Full transparency, this year has been tougher than in the past with some behavior and other growing pains since they're no longer "new." The majority of the admin team has been there since the opening in 2019 and will still be there next year, with a focus on resolving those issues and getting back to the joyful community I experienced.

The principal is very accessible and happy to talk to prospective parents. [/quote]

Thank you for this! Can you share more about the other growing pains you mentioned? We're also a local feeder family and overall it seems like the Coolidge issues seem slightly better so interested to hear more about Wells. [/quote]
