[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the lottery now open, I just wanted to see where some people are considering placing their children for the 25/26 school year. Anyone have any insight on Apple Tree: Waterfront, Lee Montessori, Global Citizens, Creative Minds, Maury, and Inspired Teaching?[/quote]

Have you looked into Stokes East End?  [/quote]

Yes, I’ve looked into it, but I didn’t like that their test scores are lower than the Brookland Campus. [/quote]

You seem very focused on test scores. I could go through the various reasons they're important and unimportant, but... you're not going to be happy at VN long term. VN's test scores are bad. They're bad overall and they're bad for demographics. They're bad for achievement and they're bad for growth. Check out the recent DC Report Card for Van Ness: https://schoolreportcard.dc.gov/lea/1/school/331/report. Van Ness is in the bottom 1/3rd of schools in the city.

Now, Van Ness' ECE scores are fine. You'll have a totally fine experience there for ECE. Some people might be fine with VN throughout ES. I don't think you will be if you're looking up test scores and willing to commute halfway across the city for better ones.[/quote]
