[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capitol Hill parents, no CHML?[/quote]

The Fancy Charters I like had shorter waitlists than CHML so I figure why waste a spot.[/quote]

Not PP but another Capitol Hill Parent. Many of the prospective Prek3 parents I know are leaving CHML off their lists. You only have so many spots for hard-to-get-into schools and this school doesn't really impress. Maybe it will be easier to get into for people who try for it, but it is definitely not a hot ticket in my cohort. [/quote]

Different poster here-

Every honest CHML parent I know with a kid past the pre-K years is desperate to find another spot for their kid. You definitely hear glowing reviews on MOTH, but behind closed doors there is real worry. My friend is a tutor there and told me some horror stories. I love Montessori but even with its accreditation it somehow lets kids fall through the cracks. I took a tour just to be sure and would not send my children there. I'd rather move to VA.  It is a shame but the weak principal with the two "doing everything else but their jobs vice principals" do not add up to a good school. With their demographics they should be out-scoring JKLM, but they are scraping along at the middle-bottom. Hard pass for our family. [/quote]

We are at CHML now and I'm still deciding on wether to enter the lottery. I couldn't agree more with the above comments regarding the office leadership and its a big deal. BUT our teacher is AMAZING. Seriously amazing. My kid is happy and we are happy, but I know there are better schools out there. Its a tough call for us. There are really some great aspects of the school and its hard to watch the weak admin staff bring it down.[/quote]
