[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The increase in demand at 5th and 6th grades is absolutely predicted and logical.  It is the wide part of the bubble of all those students who enrolled in PK3 in their neighborhood elementary schools emboldened by the smaller wave of older neighborhood kids who jumped in around 2008/9.

That demand will only grow. What will happen?

Will the charter sector grow to meet the demand?
Will those families who don't get a spot through lottery turn to DCPS at Hardy or Brookland or Ward 6 middle schools?
Will those families go private or suburb?

Stay tuned[/quote]

we'll go private.  You don't fuck around with middle school - very vulnerable age.  .

I would jump at a small charter MS like CM or ITS even if the academics are iffy.  Socially, the kid needs to be supported.  Interesting to wee Doar with such a long waitlist.  I'd consider that too - a kid could do worse than a theater arts focus for middleschool.  The confidence would carry him through those tough years.

I am much more interested in social-emotional health of middle school ages then academics.  S/he can always catch up academically in hs and we can supplement at home[/quote]
