[quote=Anonymous]My neighborhood DCPS is Amidon-Bowen.  I don't have a school-aged kid but there are very good art and music teachers, the library is nice, and they use Tools of the Mind for early childhood.  The younger classes are fairly diverse and small and all have a teacher and an aide, who seem lovely.  I like the bulletin boards outside of the classrooms and the stuff I can see they're doing from them (projects, family potlucks, field trips) look good--they have a facebook page with some pictures too.  There is a nice playground and some sports programs, though teams are for the older kids.  The school is  friendly to working parents in that it has an extended day, free aftercare, and is near several metro and bus lines (Waterfront,  Federal Center SW, and L'Enfant Plaza are closest, in that order).

There is guaranteed PK for in-bounds families next year but I think that with Appletree and now Van Ness nearby and test scores fairly low there might still be some spaces for OOB kids (the school is over 80% in-bounds now).  They are having open houses at 9am the 3rd Monday of each month, so the next one is 12/15.[/quote]
