[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of the reasons that people come on this forum to talk about school quality is that in many places with borderline schools the cheerleader parents in the neighborhood will just tell you how great they are and tell you that if people disagree it is just because they are racist.  And you believe them.  And then you buy a house and realize the schools were not what others had led you to believe.  So, when these questions come up on this forum, you try to provide objective advice to help people out.

This. I also think in DC one of the reasons you see a lot of people expressing dissatisfaction with schools, especially DCPS, is that they often enter these schools in PK3. PK in DCPS is pretty universally great. Things can change a lot at K, but by the time you realize that, you've been at the school for more than 2 years. The scales fall from your eyes and you realize that you should have prioritized other things when looking at schools. But your kid was 2 when you started looking at schools (or 15 months, like OP). You didn't know what you didn't know, including what kind of student your child was going to be.[/quote]
