[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree--this sentiment about Garrison is way outdated. We're OOB and lotteried to get IN to Garrison because the early childhood program and teachers there are wonderful. We've met so many incredible families, the class is amazingly diverse and lovely, and while the building doesn't have curb appeal, it's totally fine (I mean, really--it is exactly what my elementary school looked like!) and yes, the modernization/new building is in the works. I won't pretend that we are committed to stay all the way, and frankly I think families who think they can commit that they're absolutely going to stay anywhere for the next 7-8 years when their kids are 3 are crazy, but we know Garrison is going to serve our kid well at least through K, and we're putting in some volunteer time to help things keep getting better while we're there. If you live in Logan/Shaw/U Street/Dupont and aren't IB for Ross, Garrison is a great spot for your kid that you won't regret. And I'm a convert--when I first started down the path of understanding how DCPS worked, I didn't think it was an option. Come and see--you'll probably change your mind too!!![/quote]
