[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I agree. I haven't seen too many threads about schools in Ward 8. Lol. The one thread about the new Ballou HS building is what emboldened me to post. I figured there's got to be some Ward 8 mommas out there on this forum! Just wondering where my neighbors send their kids! [/quote]

Charter schools in NE.[/quote]

That seems like a heck of a commute to me.  If I lived EOTR, I would look downtown first (if the commute allowed it). Maybe Thompson, Seaton.[/quote]

Maybe Van Ness when it opens?  Should have a core of high SES kids  but plenty of OOB slots, and easier access from Congress Heights.  [/quote]

I think I am going to apply to Van Ness and Tyler as my top two schools. Tyler for the Spanish immersion program because we speak Spanish at home, and Van Ness because the already active teacher association sounds like they're off to a good start. But, man, I would love it if King was a good school. On one hand, we live so close to the other side of the river distance-wise, but when the Frederick Douglass bridge gets backed up in the morning, it adds 30 minutes to the commute. I would love to walk my baby to school. That's how I'll console myself when the lottery doesn't pan out for us anyways. :)[/quote]
