[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous you find a elementary school that you love and have to
switch because of a feeder middle school track
And charters take kids in 5th grade which impacts all the elementary schools in DC. It’s a lose lose
situation! I was trying to decide between Ludlow, Thomson and Garrison.  Thomson decent feeder but I did not like that school for
my daughter due to location and the physical
space of the school. [b]Can’t afford after school at Ludlow [/b]and would have to pay before care also. I am taking a leave from
job due to medical issues. Then there’s Garrison which I think is awesome spoke to teachers other families but feeder middle school not great.  Title one free programs. At this point my child is going to 4th grade I have to take my chance to make sure her elementary school experience is good. Moving a child in 5th grade is no good socially they miss their whole
graduation experience and leave friends they have been with for years.[/quote]

There's the rub. When schools improve they lose Title I status and the funding that pays or lunch, after-care, etc.[/quote]
