My children attend a nearby DCPS that feeds to a different middle school and I could not help but notice some of our strongest 5th graders chose Brookland rather than their IB middle school.  I think Brookland is on the way up.  [/quote]

I would choose Brookland over our IB middle school (McKinley).[/quote]

Me too, but I don't think the difference is really that big.  I would do McKinley of your kid is really into math and science, because they can take 9th grade classes at Tech.[/quote]

I feel the same way--I think it comes down to whether your kid wants a bigger school v. smaller, and is more into math/science.  But I'm also going to be watching to see how the school does with the interim and then new principal.  I think both schools have a lot of potential.[/quote]

Maybe, but doubtful. My DD is in MS and we've been hearing the same old since Brookland MS opened. "Lots of potential"..."maybe it will get better by the time our kids get to MS..." Listen, it probably won't. Even if your kids are in PK, have a plan B (private, move) for later ES, MS years. Your charter or DCPS might be great for your kid(s) in PK, K, even 1st or 2nd, but often the wheels start to come off as kids get older in many of these schools in terms of educational rigor.
