[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB Hyde family left for a new school this year because of swing. The teachers in third through fifth grade are phenomenol and the curriculum is rigorous. That was our experience. [/quote]

That's very encouraging, thank you.  Do you know whether Hyde usually loses a lot of students during private school admission years? Or do a lot of kids stay through fifth grade?[/quote]

They had lost around 1/2 of the kids by 5th - same as Mann and Key - but it's been changing at all three schools in the past couple years, closer to 2/3 staying - and Stoddert also added a full class for 5th recently.[/quote]

Ah, thanks. I love the idea of having a neighborhood school in walking distance, especially during the years the kids are old enough to walk on their own. I don’t feel like we have to have a middle school plan written in stone, but I’m feeling pretty good about Hyde through fifth grade.

Do you (or does anyone) have any insight into Hyde’s outplacement? Is the school good at advocating for its students who apply to private school? Are those kids getting admitted to their schools of choice? There were some people on the private school board concerned about the admissions numbers from public schools. [/quote]

Don’t expect outplacement help from a DCPS. They will send the transcript, teacher rev. But they will not pick up the phone for your kid. No public will. [/quote]
