[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The proposed location is terrible. No grounds at all. Makes me glad we didn’t take a chance on Cooper.[/quote]

This. We went with Capital City instead. It was between them and ITS.[/quote]

When my daughter did ballet at Kirov, the site just wasn't terrible.  We zipped up North Cap to get there from Capitol Hill, there was always plenty of parking, the building wasn't loud or dark inside, and the grounds had some nice greenery. Not sure what all this fuss is about.[/quote]

Then you must not have gone in the weekday morning around 8am or between 3-5pm because there is no way you can zip up North Capitol Street then.  We did this drive from H St NE and on a really good day it took 20 minutes, bad day 40 minutes one way.

If you are coming from south of H St and eastern market, you can easily add another 20 minutes on top of that.[/quote]

But your kid must be fluent in Chinese by now, mistaken for a native speaker at every turn.  All worth it, right, here in the century of the Rising China?[/quote]

Never said my kid went to YY.  But you are just detracting from wanting to hear the truth.  Why?

The traffic on North Capitol is real and it’s important families understand that.  I suggest those considering do a test drive in rush hour and back from CH in September.[/quote]

You could always move to the burbs, where a school bus would pick up your kids.  Alternatively, buy or rent a house in-boundary for Deal.  The reality is that no DC UMC family needs to take on the burden of a bad commute to a middle school charter in this Metro area.[/quote]
