[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to finalize our lottery list. There are a few schools and charters in Brookland that we are very interested in for next year PreK-3. I realize PreK-3 is a total crapshoot, but I'm wondering if some folks could comment on the commute from the Hill to Brookland? I have a flexible work schedule so drop off times are not an issue, I'm just wondering if by playing the long game (trying to get a good PreK-5 school) is a bad idea at this time if the commute is just too much for DC.

Thanks![/quote]

take a longer look at Miner.  It's better than you may realize, especially for ECE.  If you're IB you'd have a decent shot of getting in and the short commute with a 3 year old has value too.[/quote]

New poster here. I don't know much about Miner as a school but I've been to the building and there's a gym, a cafeteria/auditorium, a media center/library, and a parking lot - none of which my kids have at their charter which I love for lots of reasons but which is lacking in facilities compared to what I remember from my own suburban elementary school experience.[/quote]

Our DD is in PK3 at Miner and we’ve been happy. The ECE program is strong. The test scores for 3rd-5th tell you literally nothing about the EXE classes — among other things, the demographics are totally different (0% white v 50% white, e.g.). As PP notes, the facilities are actually really nice. There is a brand new separate ECE playground that opened this year and a $1.3 million renovation planned of the rest of the outdoor space this summer (and its already pretty nice).[/quote]
