This is super concerning. I don’t understand why they’re not on probation. The only reason they have mediocre scores is due to the significant number of wealthy students that attend. Ludicrous that anyone would send their kid there over any DCPS in Petworth (assuming most folks live in Petworth from what I hear).[/quote]

Its a good thing they built a 300k playground.[/quote]

There is no way this school should still be open. They need to be put on probation this school year. Let KIPP take over. Or maybe MV can take over that location in lieu of Brookland.[/quote]

I'm not saying CMI should close, but they should reconsider their middle school, create a feed with ITS or someone, and open more elementary/ECE instead.  I also took a look at Harmony and City Arts and Prep-- two schools DCUM has IDed at struggling, and their financials are remarkably better than CMI[/quote]

City Arts' problems are something other than financial.  Harmony is looking pretty bad.  They're not as deep in debt as CMI, but they're a much, much smaller school and unable to attract students.  I suspect the parent company is propping them up.  But it's probably time to call it, and poor Langley will have to take in the kids.[/quote]

I feel bad for sweet little Langley.  Parents, teachers and admin have worked their tails off, and now Seaton is opening a new Kindergarten and has seats available.  It's going to kill any rising K momentum they had going[/quote]

I'm not so sure.  Anyone who wanted to get into Seaton that badly would have gotten in in PK4.  I turned down Seaton last year and again this year.  I really like the SEL program at Langley, and our K teachers are very strong.  DC loves Langley, and I just didn't see the point of moving DC and lengthening our commute for a school that we'd have to leave anyway to avoid Cardozo.[/quote]
