[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ward 4 parent here. For elementary I completely agree with PP. DCPS may be uneven, but there are elementary seats at DCPS schools that outperform the popular charters (with the exception of Yu Ying). It’s both the curriculum, admin, and the resources from being part of a big LEA. But it’s the reverse in middle school. For a Ward 4 parent who doesn’t want to gamble on a winning lottery number in fifth, the charter options are miles better than DCPS (primarily DCI, but also IT, ELH, CC for some families), and you have to secure that feeder pattern in elementary.

Not sure how one can make such sweeping generalizations.   For instance, Bancroft is a highly coveted school for its Deal feed, but it’s math scores are below most of the DCI feeders in Wards 4/5.  I know they are lower than DCB, LAMB, Stokes-B and Mundo C8.

The problem with this type of thread is the sweeping generalization. In addition, people claim to know how good or bad some schools are when they don’t have any kids in. You cannot judge a school for what you read here.

I chose a charter instead of a Ward 4 school and I never say anything bad about my IB because my kids never attended, so I know nothing about it. So far I am very happy with my decision.[/quote]
