[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Only 27% are enrolled in their IB school."

So despite hundreds of millions in renovations, expansion of Pk3, students returning to DCPS for HS ... the percentage of students attending their IB has only increased 2% since the last boundary review.

For the last time, parent don’t choose schools based on renovations!! If it’s underperforming, lacks rigor etc, no one cares how shiny and new it is.[/quote]

This! My IB is newly renovated and looks amazing. Still underperforming. [/quote]

If my IB elementary hadn't been renovated, it would definitely have been crossed off my list. Windows were broken, bathrooms were unusable, kids had to wear coats in the classrooms because the heat wasn't working. Even the brightest kids would underperform in those conditions. Now that it's renovated, I can feel the change in morale every time I walk into the building. It feels like a place where kids can learn, and the school is definitely taking advantage of its new labs, auditorium, common spaces, etc. [/quote]

Great. I’m sure you plan to enroll your kid eventually at brookland middle and then Dunbar?  Both have abysmal test scores but the buildings are brand new.[/quote]
