[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a school in DC - either DCPS or DCPCS that handles bullying and behavioral issues well?  [/quote]

I have heard Latin is great with this but who knows? We have had no problems at all with this at ITDS but I have talked to other families who have. It just seems like the admin is new and still learning the "rules" about how to appropriately handle things. That and they are listening, making you feel heard, and then not following through with anything. Again, I do see the later in small things but haven't had any big issues thankfully.[/quote]

The weird thing is the Head of School and also the principal were recently hired from two very different schools, both of which have a lot of kids with special needs and behavior issues. So it's not like they lack experience with it. I really, really, really don't want ITS middle to end up like Two Rivers, though of course I'd never say that to the principal's face.[/quote]

But right. Two Rivers is a mess...I have heard terrible things about not only academics but absolute lack of behavior control. I think the HOS is from Breakthrough Montessori? I know fewer details about that school but I don't think it is/was highly thought of either. The school just doesn't feel as "Inspired" as it used to. I am hoping my younger child has the positive experience my older has but I am not so sure that will happen. I am still hopeful though![/quote]

No, the HOS comes from a Ward 7 DCPS elementary and middle.

It's easy to fall for the lovely ECE program, and I think a lot of older kid parents being less satisfied is just part of the kids growing up. Little kids, little problems, you know?

I am the PP who is pretty critical of ITS for various things including behavior, but I do think it's a good school in many ways, and I wouldn't switch to any other school in the area.[/quote]
