[quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you find that the 4th-6th classroom loses a lot of kids, and is the experience negatively affected?[/quote]

I think its too soon to say; this year's 6th graders are the hearty few remaining from the first year that the school opened.  I think that any elementary-only school is going to have some churn after 4th grade because of how charter middle schools are structured in this city.

I will say that because of the aforementioned moves, and some leadership drama several years ago, there has already been a fair amount of turnover in the older grades and the teachers have done a pretty good job of getting new kids up to speed on Montessori techniques.  I haven't had any complaints on that front.

More generally (you may know this already, so I apologize if I'm #actuallying you here), there's just more turnover overall at all grades in almost every DC elementary school than you probably remember from when your school from when you were a kid.  I think its just endemic to the way DC does school choice. [/quote]
