[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the area and think that the problem with most of the schools, including Tubman, is that people will stay in the early years and bail when they can. We are looking to move. (Struck out in the lottery this year.)[/quote]

THIS.  There are less than a dozen DCPS schools that parents love, and only one of them is EotP (Brent).  Every other DCPS is a "work in progress" and parents will absolutely lie and say they're "all in!" right up until they tell you that they are:

A) just accepted to one of the great charters
B) just got lucky in the OOB lottery
C) have decided to move to FFX or MoCo

DCPS boosters will howl in protest, but its true.  Nobody who cares about education wants their child in one of "those" schools by the time they hit the testing grades.  It would only affirm that you made a terrible parenting decision that is starkly compromising your child's future.  [/quote]

You know, there are a lot of people who send their kids to schools that are not popular on this board (read: not WotP) who do actually care about education. They just don't post here. Be more of a snob, please. We certainly haven't heard enough about how wonderful it is WotP.
