[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with poster at 11:52.  Go on a tour, talk with other parents on the playground, or show up at school events (Fallfest is this Saturday) to get direct feedback. You will probably run into current parents that will provide you with the pro's and cons of the school.

I am a current Shepherd parent and find many of the cons (mentioned already) stem from issues with DCPS as a whole and is not necessarily school specific.

Sounds like OP has already made up her mind, without even talking to any of her neighbors--a shame.

I don't love uniforms, nor do I like the optics of a public school system where most black and brown kids wear them and white WOTP kids don't have to.  However, I'm probably a bit of a minority among Shepherd families--most people I know either like them for making mornings easy, or don't give them much thought.  I don't see this as an acceptance of mediocrity at all, though--I think in general, Shepherd IB families tend to be a bit more laidback than most other Deal/Wilson feeder communities (see any Lafayette thread for comparison).[/quote]

But they largely don’t enforce the uniform. I think it’s on it way out.[/quote]
