[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Ludlow Taylor (PK3 and 1st grade) and very happy. Planning to stay till 4th/5th grade unless something dramatically changes for the worst.

It's true that there are more poor children there, but I *want* my kids to be exposed to different SES, especially given the current political situation, I feel like it's the right thing to do.

The parents, teachers and the new principal (from last year) are doing a great job with the new website, check it out: http://www.ludlowtaylor.org

+1  We have two kids at Ludlow this year, with our older child beginning 5th year at the school.  The changes have been dramatic, all for the better.  We love the new principal (in his second year) and this year he has a vice principal.  Communication with parents is excellent and the school hires only the best educators.  I doubt LT will be Title 1 much longer, as demographics continue to shift.  However, the school now is in a sweet spot -- Title 1 funds mean low-cost aftercare ($85 per month) and free lunches for all.  But at the same time, the community is warm and very engaged, and the PTA is starting to raise real money.  Social capital at the school has really shot up since we've been there.  Plus we have the largest FoodPrints garden in DCPS, and a brand new playground.  Yes, PARCC scores continue to move up, but we're not ones to put much emphasis on test scores.  Our kids are bright and will do fine wherever.  Plus, it's nice to have feeder rights to SH, which we are definitely considering for middle school.  Good luck, OP![/quote]
