[quote=Anonymous]We didn’t live in the neighborhood when my child started school. We bought a house in CV and moved my child to Shepherd and now in an upper grade. We have really enjoyed it. The inbounds/oob is really a thing here on DCUM. I don’t find it to be an issue in reality. I think folks have a stereotype of oob kids as poorly behaved, low income AA/black kids, which is just that—- a stereotype! It’s an ugly stereotype too. People need to stop fearing poor people. Why are the test scores lower than WotP? It isn’t because of the teaching because my child has always received 4s and 5s and we don’t do Kumon or anything else outside of school. I don’t think it’s fair to judge a school solely on test scores. It’s like judging a book by its cover! As for the uniforms, it is such a non-issue. They really aren’t militant about adhering to the uniform. It’s really a great school. We have had nothing but a positive experience.[/quote]
