[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a great year in PK4 and looking forward to K. It looks like much of DS's class is going to stick around as well, but I suspect [b]people will start peeling off to charters and DCPS's farther west if we don't get have a valid middle school option. [/b]Unlike most of the rest of NW we are shut out of Deal, Hardy and Oyster.

At the moment we're zoned for Cardozo and the only other nearby MS is Walker-Jones.  Are there any active parent groups at those schools?[/quote]

Yes. That's what will happen.

I think generally speaking parents at the MS level are less likely to be super involved in their kid's schools than they are at ES level.

I know a few years back there were some people trying to push for good things at Shaw @ Garnett-Paterson, but I think the closing of the school & move to Cardozo killed it.[/quote]

So we'll end up being those OOB kids showing up at Hearst, Eaton, and Murch that everyone is always disparaging?[/quote]

We dont disparage oob kids at Eaton. The oob kids are part of what makes us who we are. [/quote]

Same for Hearst. We have found that the people who disparage the OOB kids at our school are not people who actually attend Hearst. It's a great school and we would be happy to have you![/quote]

Hearst welcomes everyone to its community (as I know Eaton and Murch do too).  We would be happy to have you come join us![/quote]

I believe this to be true. But once those kids move up to overcrowded Deal and Wilson many do resent the kids - however they got there. [/quote]
