[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a transplant or a native Washingtonian?  I had a chat with a teacher friend who suggested that transplants see DCPS for the promise of what it can become while native Washingtonians cannot see beyond DCPS' less than stellar past.

I am a transplant who sent my children to private school our first 3 years in DC, but decided to enter the lottery this year because of the great things I have heard from Ward 5 parents who love the neighborhood schools and charter choices in the area. Amy others have similar experiences?

You lost me at Ward 5.  If you were on the Hill trying to build up your neighborhood school I'd cheer you on, but in Ward 5 you should know better.[/quote]

Oh my!  I have heard good things about Burroughs and folks seem to like Langdon as well.  I have also heard from families that are very pleased with Lee, Shining Stars, Creative Minds International, and Inspired Teaching School.  What specific concerns do you have with these schools?[/quote]

Also, we are not looking into language schools at this time, but I have chatted with happy parents and staff at the Latin American Montessori Bilingual School and Elsie Whitlow Stokes Elementary.[/quote]

YMBNH.

When someone refers to schools in a ward, they mean by-right attendance DCPS, not the charters that happen to be nearby and accept 2 percent of non-sibling lottery applicants.
