[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child in K is also at Inspired Teaching and we think it compares to the best private schools in DC for many reasons.  They hire superstar teachers (masters and residents), the energy in classrooms is strong, and the interdisciplinary and engaging learning is on display for parents to see daily and at four special evening events through the year.

Because it's lottery, though, try not to get your heart set on any one school.  Not sure how old your child is, but if you're hoping to get into K next year, that cohort this year (PK4) already has 100s on their waiting list for 44 spots, the majority of whom are returning from a strong PS3 year.  I'll be surprised if more than 15 spots open up in that class this year.  Best of luck.[/quote] 34.60% proficiency at IT "compares to the best private schools in DC" - hmmm. [/quote]

We are talking about a small (<10) 3rd grade class in their first year taking the DC-CAS at a first year school.  If you compare the proficiency numbers to Two Rivers, Stokes, EL Haynes, etc. for the first time their leading classes took the DC-CAS and you will see approximately the same scores.  What's interesting will be to see how these students do next year in 4th and how the rising 3rd does with two years of instruction by the same gifted teacher.[/quote] That's great, but not like the best private schools.[/quote]

A third grader after his/her first year in a private school may not perform fantastically on the dcCas either. We'll never know!

I think it's a reasonable comparison, particularly for the younger grades. Not at IT but have often thought our first year charter feels like a private school.
