[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you the parent of an incoming PreS3 kid?  You sure sound like it.

There are a lot of objective measures you can look at to try to define what school is "best."  But at the end of the day, what matters is only that you child is happy, is learning, and is loved at their school.  In our era of charters and different learning environments, what works best for one child may not work best for another.  Washington DC is lucky in the sense that there are a number of schools that are well run and provide a good educational environment for children.  "best" is, at best, a subjective measure.

Now, if you're looking to invest in a for profit enterprise, looking at which entity is the most well run may be the most important variable.

MV is, undoubtably, well run.  It may very well be the most well run charter school in DC.  The year my child attended, I was pleased with that aspect of the school.  But as for how my child was taught, what she was learning, and how it "felt" as a learning environment for her - well, I have to say I'm glad the lottery was good to us and we got into a West of the Park DCPS.  It's simply a better fit.  FOR OUR CHILD.  But not as well run.  [/quote]
