[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know the demographics of Miner’s ECE program? I suspect it’s markedly different from the overall student body given its solid reputation but I can’t find any specific info.[/quote] 
It was roughly 50/50 in terms of UMC v not when my child attended a few years ago.[/quote]

At the Miner ECE open house last week I only saw families that looked white (obviously don't know they were all white definitively).[/quote]

I was at the open house before that and, yeah…100% white parents. I didn’t want to read into that much by itself since I know parents at Azeeze-Bates and Pentacle and so on may not go to open houses but they will surely send their kids there in the fall.

I’ve been trying to decide whether to list TRY over Miner for the lottery, which I why I asked. Starting to think it makes more sense to stay close to home rather than potentially make the trek to Carver-Langston for a minimal upgrade at the ECE level (if that).[/quote]

I would rank Miner higher because the teaching quality in DCPS ECE is simply better than what they offer at TR (we did TR 4th for PK3, it was fine). The teachers in the DCPS programs are so good. Especially if you are just look for something for ECE, I would absolutely preference DCPS higher. If you are looking for an elementary school through 5th that's tougher. But I suspect you would not be happy with either option past K, in which case I would do Miner both for quality and convenience. There is nothing about TRY's PK program that is better than Miner's, and as a general rule I'd place any DCPS program above either TR campus for ECE because of teaching staff (DCPS ECE teachers have masters in early childhood education and on average more years of experience than at TR).[/quote]
