[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have experience with the kindergarten or first grade at Bunker Hill? It’s our IB school but we haven’t lived in DC in years so we’re pretty out of touch.[/quote]

I'd ask around on the https://groups.io/g/brookland-kids/topics group or the Brookland Kids Facebook group.

I know that folks are trying to be helpful, but I feel like every time a Brookland question gets asked, we immediately get told to go elsewhere. The Brookland list serv is wonderful if you are looking to pick up second hand kid stuff, less helpful if you are looking for a candid opinion on schools. It might not be a 30-something page LAMB or TR thread, but even a few answers here is helpful.[/quote]

PP, candidly, I think it's unlikely you would find a Bunker Hill 1st grade parent on this board. The Brookland parents here are mostly charter school parents (hence 32 pages on LAMB). DCUM in general skews heavily towards WOTP Deal feeders and charter schools. If you're worried about not getting candid feedback on the public FB group maybe ask to set up a phone call with a parent, so it's a bit more private?[/quote]

I’m in Brookland. Bunker Hill is my IB. My kids are middle school and I don’t know anyone who sends their kids there. But I have heard second and third hand of the little kids going there.

[b]So we’re here on this board.[/b] I just didn’t have anything productive to say. [/quote]  No.  You don't send your kid to Bunker Hill but instead opted out for a charter, just as the PP stated.  Certain families in that neighborhood don't send their dc's to their inbound school, Bunker Hill, but rather flee to charter schools or overcrowded WOTP schools.    [/quote]
