[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really not a troll. I'm the "moving to dc" poster from a while back. And I'm happy with our ib, I'm mostly just curious. Is this like an Arts and Letters in Brooklyn kind of thing? [/quote]

How can you possibly have a decent wait list number in round 2?  Their round 1 wait list went into the hundreds for most grades.[/quote]

If I recall correctly, this PP has a child in 3rd grade.  The wait list is significantly smaller - I'm not sure if it even goes past 10.

And reading information on this forum is how we all get information about schools.  Even though the school is talked about quite a bit, I couldn't really say what's so great about the school.  All the praise is rather general, in the form of "we love it!" and "our DC is thriving there!"

There are kids in the second round with WL# of 19-30 for 3rd grade.  Likely not good enough to get in but good enough to get your hopes up.  Very different from PS3.  My kid's spot on the K wait list has moved nearly 20 places so far, which is a lot more than I'd expect.  But, there were new places for K this year.  I think spots in 3rd are likely due to attrition only.

As for what people like about Mundo Verde, as far as I can tell it's because a lot of educated middle class and upper middle class families (the types that predominate on this board) get very VERY excited about the dual language part, even if some of them think the Spanish isn't very good.  Throw in the "green" part and it's a recipe for success among that demographic.  Whether or not the school is great at other aspects of teaching, I have no idea but it certainly gets a lot of hype on this board.  Personally, we were underwhelmed at the open house and didn't see a lot that strongly distinguished it from our not very popular DCPS elementary.[/quote]
