[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard Eliot Hine is improving and gaining traction with IB families?  But I would after Friday figure out what your 6th grade lottery list might look like.  If you significantly prefer and would be happy with one of the other DCPS middle schools, look for a post-lottery 5th grade spot at a feeder.  No matter what you do (even returning for 5th with no real plan), you will not be the only one even if it may feel that way.[/quote]

There seem to be a handful of loud EH boosters who struck out in the lottery and are trying to make EH a thing. We know one of these families IRL (I’m convinced the mom posts on every EH thread in this forum) and the kid tells a very different story than the parents. A lot of violence, disruption and poor academics. [/quote]

I’m not that mom. I have some things I am not thrilled about, but I have heard zero about violence and disruption at the school. In fact the school is extremely well organized when it comes to monitoring behavior and where the kids are at any one time and seems much more on top of that than the elementary school was by the end. My kid also comes home regularly talking about something he learned or did at school. The teachers are super responsive in general and a few have really gone above and beyond.

If you don’t have a kid there I wonder what motivates you to be an anti-booster?[/quote]
