[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses. The small district comment makes sense to me, ans we have considered falls church city, but does that apply to dcps which is smaller than mcps and fcps? [/quote] No. DCPS has its advocates on DCUM, who in a moment will sing its praises. However, colleagues with kids in DCPS and volunteers to DCPS all tell me there are some individual teachers or principals who try hard, but overall it is a mess - not unlike a much larger system. It has a surprisingly large bureaucracy. [/quote] DCPS has a lottery system. Do you feel lucky? And are you willing to gamble with your child’s education on the line? [/quote] I know about a lottery, but we'd move to upper NW so it's that part of dcps compared to other school systems. We want to be at a good school but it does not need to be the best. But we do want our kids to be challenged. [/quote] It’s all the same school system. [/quote]
