[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A stunningly attractive, new, spacious, state-of-the-art-for-DCPS building. [/quote] My child spent 4th and 5th grade in a trailer. Got to Deal and spent 7th grade in a trailer. Just saying. [/quote] Exactly. If this were true - a new building makes it better - then HD Cooke would have been the EOTP school that became well known for having achieved success in recruiting AND KEEPING wealthier neighborhood families. The school is gorgeous, and I was a part of the first group of higher income parents that went into the school with all intentions of making it work. But once you get a call from a HRCS or WOTP school with high test scores, that group of parents is all gone. Disruptive kids in the classroom, test scores that never really improved, after care that was chaotic, a heavy TV reliance - all those things add up. Here's hoping the new administration will turn things around. A beautiful building only sells so much. [/quote]
