[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do. I have a rising third grader. Honestly, if the school offers extracurricular or cluster stuff and if the classes are small enough for them to notice her.... I'm really leaning towards thinking that those are my main concerns. [/quote]

I have heard that the school is very good at differentiation because it uses the IB curriculum. I have also heard that kids who are intrinsically motivated do particularly well there. We have no idea how our toddler, who is not even three, will do, but I'm hopeful that the school is on the upswing.

Also, we have a dog and the neighborhood is super dog friendly. The Cooke kids in particular LOVE my dog and always ask about her. (She has been in our lives longer than our toddler!) When I moved to Adams-Morgan a decade ago, I never thought I would want to raise a family here. But there are now tons of families and it has a real sense of community.

When I went to visit Cooke last week, everyone--from the kids to the administrators to the teachers--was excited to see us and meet our toddler. The PK kids all hugged her and told her that she would really like it. I got the sense that it is a warm, loving school with a good amount of parent involvement. (There were parents/grandparents volunteering in all the rooms I toured--though that was in PK/K wing).[/quote]
