[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Powell gets neighborhood "buy in" kind of love.  "We're all in this together!"  [/b]Like a few dozen other DCPSs in neighborhoods which are considerably more gentrified, you'll find this starts to peter out very, very fast starting at Kindergarten.  [b][By winter break in 1st grade you are going to be very stressed because you've been left behind by your  more aspirational or upwardly mobile neighbors.

Bridges seems to get endless streams of love here, which is interesting for a school which doesn't seem to have a permanent home.  The school must be wonderful considering how shaky the facilities are.  Probably go visit each, and do so with a jaundiced eye.[/quote]

This is what we fear. If we are left behind, no biggie we will just go private for middle as planned.[/quote]

Just be advised that your child's peers may come from households that could be illiterate in both English and Spanish.  It will improve your child's Spanish, certainly; but at what cost?[/quote]
