[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I have it directly from families who have switched from Catholic to DCPS and vice versa ( and one who went from DCPS to Catholic to DCPS) that the good DCPS ES are better than the Catholic in their neighborhood.

Agree I worked many years in the inner city Catholic schools in DC. We were smaller and  safer than the neighborhood school in southeast but the education provided was a failure.  It was the norm to have kids performing several grade levels below regardless if they transfered into the private school or started  at pk. The principal have to call in favors for admittance to Carroll every year because they are not prepared. Imagine a significant portion each year of eight graders graduating performing on a 4th grade level. I still have many friends  teaching in these schools who have the heart but not the needed education or training. These same teacher would  never meet the criteria for certification and employment  in a public school. Just about anyone on this tread could become a teacher at those schools  with the degree and experience you currently have. The Catholic schools in southeast are not comparable to Blessed Sacrament or Georgetown Prep. The kids were no better educated and have less resources than being in DCPS. I would never put my kids in any of these .
