[quote=Anonymous]It's very interesting that when ever I read anything on this listserv about DC Prep it's always "I heard this and that" but yet not one person seem to know an actual parent of a student at DC Prep first hand.
While, yes, it is 99% African American, maybe a little less this year because there are a few white, Asian and Hispanic students, the SES in this school is actually pretty diverse! I think most of you would be surprised. There are a good amount of college educated families there with well paying jobs but like any other DC school there are a good amount of FARM students there but who cares! The school does a great job at keeping any "craziness" in check. As a black women who grew up in Mo County and when to private school in Bethesda, I am used to certain things also but I believe the school does an excellent job with the parents and student and making everyone feel welcome.
This is my son's second year and I can not be more grateful to his teachers for the love and attention they have given him. I'm pretty sure part of that is because my husband and I are very involved. Also to the comment that I have seen in this thread and others, the school DOES have Spanish, PE, Music and Art! The younger kids rotate every quarter. SO let's put that rumor to rest. As for not being able to go on field trips because of absences or tardiness, yes that happens but it's not after only 2, you really have to be a repeat offender. 
So that's my $.02 about DC Prep. I think it's an awesome school and this is coming from and actual parent! I hope someone finds this useful even though this is an old thread.
Please excuse any typos as I am on my iPhone! ;-)[/quote]
