[quote=Anonymous]We are pleased with our experience at Barnard in Petworth (Ps-3 thru K right now) and as the neighborhood slowly changes (thanks in part to still affordable housing, gentrification pressure from Columbia Heights, and the nearby Metro) word is getting out, the preschool waitlists have tripled since we enrolled. Test scores could be better, but there are also a lot of Title One kids there. The school has an egalitarian ethos and is getting more diverse. You will not feel out of place pulling up for dropoff in a beat up Honda or a luxury SUV or on foot. Parents also pressured the chancellor to add grade 5, so trailers have been set up to make room. I believe this is a reflection of parents being satisfied with the school but also the extremely poor performance at the IB middle school, MacFarland, which struggles. [/quote]
