[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you tour P street? That building is amazing. I find it odd you’d be unimpressed by it yet down with Burroughs building. Also I find it odd you didn’t apply to 8th street which would’ve simplified your commute etc. In general I’m not clear what you’re after - it’s like you’re too good for P street and it’s open air drug market but fine with Burroughs which may not have any aftercare (500/month for a college student may not even be possible) and also is near our very own target practice zone in Brookland.

How do you know OP didn't apply to MV 8th Street? Perhaps they didn't get in...[/quote]

That’s not really possible, P street has a fraction of the openings of MV8.[/quote]

Maybe they got a really good master number? [/quote]

OP here. Uh, we did apply to 8th street, but we listed in order of true preference at the time, and we put MV P Street higher because it was an already-established location. Honestly, I didn't think we would get in to P Street. I thought we *might* have a chance at MV8.

And for everyone dragging Burroughs, have *you* been inside it? Have you met the teachers or the PTO leadership? I have. I will admit that I judged Burroughs pretty hard from the outside and from neighborhood gossip. But when I visited, I was pleasantly surprised. The PK3 and PK4 spaces are really nice. And the music room was very impressive. MV doesn't even have a music room. I'm not saying Burroughs is better, just that it's not as bad as I thought it was.

Thank you for everyone who spent the time to share a thoughtful, compassionate response.
