[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Third grade at Whittier here. It's awesome. Our daughter is in chess club and garden club. Chess club is taught by an international chess master (Nigerian champion). Free aftercare, breakfast and lunch are free. Warm loving teachers. Great community of kids. Going to the neighborhood school means we get to walk to school with friends and spend lots of time at each other's houses.[/quote]

This is an underrated piece. While it thins a little more in later grades, if you are entirely unfamiliar with a neighborhood a neighborhood school is a great way to meet parents and kids. Most of the Whittier boundary is pretty friendly and social (4th Street block party and Halloween, Takoma Rec Center playground, events and farmers market in TKPK) but it will be easier to meet people with a built in excuse.

I get the HS concerns, but MS has a growing cohort moving with it, with the ability for Whittier to offer MS classes (think it's math for some 5th graders now) and Wells to offer HS classes because of the proximity.[/quote]
