[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to say the answer is "No," based on responses in the various threads related to the same subject. If you've got the money or freedom to choose to live in a high-performing school neighborhood, the most efficient use of your resources and time is to go there. If you don't have money or time, then the wisest choice is to go to a decent performing charter. You're up against a brick wall if the school is currently Title 1 and not proficient.[/quote] Luckily for the poster and all In Bounds families, Powell is one of four DCPS Elementary Schools that is Title I and considered "Rising": http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/powell+Elementary+School. It's students perform on par with those "decently performing charters". I'm sure any parental support and involvement would be appreciated and could only help the school and the students, but let's not talk about Powell like it's a failing school.[/quote]
