[quote=Anonymous]My child went there for PK3. The homework was optional. As far as I know, recess was never denied, but they did have indoor recess more often than I would have liked (whenever it was below 40, which was often because their recess period was early). They posted the schools where 8th graders were headed and it seemed like many of them were headed to McKinley or Banneker. I appreciated that he school was well-organized. Field trips were set at the beginning of the year. Kids had plenty of "specials" and older kids have some after school activity options. They used the robo-dialer to communicate reminders about days off, special events, etc. Staff is welcoming.

We pulled our kid for another school that allows the kids more... freedom, I guess. Hope seems to have a lot of rules for kids. The PK3 was very "academic" compared to some other schools. Also, they extended the school day to be approximately 8 hours, which seems excessive, especially for 3-5 year olds.

I think their main competition is KIPP and DC Prep. If you're considering either of those schools, look at Hope. If you strike out in the lottery, look at Hope. I think they usually have spots.[/quote]
