[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two kids in elementary grades at SWW/Francis. We are very positive about the school and plan to stay through middle school. Small grade size is a plus for us. Teachers know every kid individually. Prefer it to larger schools. [/quote]

This is our IB.  Would you say that more parents are keeping their kids at FS through the upper grades?  Are you happy with the rigor and differentiation available?  We love the looping concept in the ES--it seems like teachers really get to know the students well.  [/quote] Yes. Increasing number of kids stay for MS years, I would say the majority but don't know the stats. Also small but increasing number of academically strong kids from Ross ES joining at 6th. Differentiation is strong. Especially in math. [/quote]

Still doesn't solve your HS problem - you're all screwed when it's time to go to Cardozo.[/quote]

Not really--there are the selective high schools, charters, and privates.  And we could move IB for Wilson if we had to.  And honestly, who knows if we'll even be in DC in ten years?  A lot can happen in a decade.  I'm concerned about ES and MS.[/quote]

+1000.  There are way more options for HS but so few for MS. Glad to have SWW-FS as a feeder and don't feel "screwed" in the least.[/quote]

So glad to hear that SWWFS is 'on the map' in terms of viable Middle Schools. Just a shame that it is so tiny.
