[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC Prep is a HRCS

Just b/c you are not as familiar with the program does not make it "M"[/quote]

While one campus may do well, I was basing off of DCUM feedback and [b]popularity via lottery buzz[/b].[/quote]

DC Prep had a long waitlist.

I am curious.  Does DCUM posters determine what schools are HRS?  What are the metrics for appointing a school as HRS?[/quote]

HRCS is a subjective term. This site is populated largely by Caucasian, middle- and upper-class families, so it does not surprise me that DC Prep is not considered a HRCS by many of the people on this website. If you look at different populations, on the other hand, it would not surprise me at all that DC Prep is on their list. We are at a school that most families on this site would never even consider. The families at our school are happy. I am ok that it is a LRDCPS (low-regarded DCPS) on this site; it is meeting my child's needs well. [/quote]

You are so right.  And I'll go further to say that there are many LRDCPS and MRPS (middle-regarded public schools) that are little gems for parents and students who attend, where the parents are totally fine that the school is NOT the "flavor of the month" on DCUM.  Yes, visiting schools that are near you are your best bet for info, talking to parents, talking on the playground (for playground-age kids).  Other factors are important, but don't assume that just because people aren't arguing about the school on DCUM that it isn't a really good school for your family.  Check as many out yourself as you can.[/quote]
