[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Really appreciate the feedback, all. I have to say, the idea of DC being a small group of one is concerning and feels isolating. My kid is a social butterfly and I can’t imagine being happy being alone, particularly if other kids are working together. I also don’t love the idea of them losing friends every year, but do love the thought of a small cohort of like minded families finding each other.[/quote]

Friends will come and go at any school.  And at a school like the ones you name, I don't think you would have peer academic issues until 4th or 5th.  It's the really ungentrified schools where you have to think about that.[/quote]

Ya, this is where each Title 1 really differs. life in a group of one is so different than life in a group of 10ish peers (which is what my kids have at ours). 10ish peers is lovely. I guess upper NW schools may have more than a hundred peers in each grade.[/quote]

Well yes, and new kids that enter are often above grade level, which is less likely at a Title I.  But I did love the small and cozy feel of our neighborhood school with only 40 kids total per grade.  You don't get that in Ward 3.[/quote]
