[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids at Chisholm and it's not just a good school—it’s a great one. It’s growing. It has an experienced and highly respected bilingual principal, and an excellent teacher retention rate of nearly 79% — a strong indicator of school climate and program stability. Chisholm is a success story that continues to grow stronger each year, with upward enrollment trends and long lottery waitlists.

And for those who think the middle school is a bad idea/won't ever happen, you all are haters. Kids work hard to learn another language and I think it's admirable that parents are pushing DCPS to find a clear bilingual pathway for them. DCPS has 3 dual-language middle schools and they are all in NW. Why shouldn't students from Chisholm, Houston, Mundo, Stokes, and Global Citizens be given the same opportunities as the students on the other side of the city? And FWIW, SH and EH do not have the capacity to add a true dual-language program and the Jefferson principal does not see a full dual-language track as part of her vision for the school. [/quote]

Hill Parent here - that’s great to hear! Personally I would rather see EH start a bilingual track (because we love EH) but I support your campaign anyway. I do think EH has the capacity and it could be a really cool thing …[/quote]
