[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Our other option right now is to stay put where we are. I think I’m juggling the fact that this will essentially be a start up(yes, I’m aware that the model is in place). We listed with the hope that more would be in place at this point. For example, STAFF, outdoor space, also the fact that we haven’t been given the opportunity to view the inside of the building. Also, upon reading about union effort it just seems like the current staff not particularly pleased with the working conditions.[/quote]

These are the things I’m worried about too. Yes, new anything can be messy but there are degrees... and the union thing has me worried about how happy the teachers are. Reasonably happy teachers are a big deal![/quote]

I would recommend them you stay where you are if you both are already unsure.  You either are or are not comfortable with taking a chance at the new campus. Just realize that the probability is low that you will get a spot at either MV campus in the future.  [/quote]

I agree with future probability.  Most of the families who got into 8th was because there was 3 new grades and all those new open seats.  That’s never gonna happen again, and it was a lucky year for those that got in.  Even with a new campus, the waitlist for preK 3 is 387, preK 4 184, K 115.  That’s impressive for a new campus.

And if the new principal does a decent job setting up the new campus the first year, continues to improve it yearly, I predict that 8th will overtake P St in desirability.  It’s in a better neighborhood, the NE corridor of Brookland, H St, Woodbridge, etc..has a ton of middle class families who want decent schools and language immersion.[/quote]
