[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Yes, but, come on, it's all pretty much make-do even with the best of our DC public charter schools and, frankly, DCPS. [/b]No facility as crappy at BASIS' or Latin Cooper's is a good fit for any kid. No middle school as crowded and chaotic as Deal, without academic tracking outside math, is all that wonderful either. The ECs at these charters, and in DCPS frankly, aren't too hot for any student as compared to what's on offer in any half-way decent suburban DMV school, particularly where instrumental music instruction and sports go. A gaggle of charter teachers that aren't paid or trained well, and aren't very experienced, is only so wonderful.  I get it, living in the city is what you want, really want. But let's not pretend or claim that anything much is the "best" in DC public schools lest we come off as vaguely delusional.  [/quote]

OK, then why are you even in this forum? [/quote]

Not PP but maybe because PP lives in DC.

Post above is true and the reality of living in the city.  Schools are suboptimal and not good unless you can afford private.

Parents like myself have to make compromises and supplement if we want to stay in the city.

Reality is the cooper current building is terrible and so is the EC and sports offerings.

BTW, we have been in the Kirov building many times for music lessons  in the past and there is no way that building is big enough to accommodate 2 schools.  They would need to triple that size with an addition and even if they did that which I doubt is in the plans, not enough land to do it.  So I wouldn’t expect any amazing facilities and it’s going to be tight. [/quote]

Have you even seen the massive construction going on there??[/quote]
