[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expecting our first child, and love living in Takoma. Have met the TEC principal and thought she seemed wonderful. Yet, reviewed the CAS stats and was shocked. There are so many young professionals in the neighborhood with babies/young kids. I don't understand how the scores can be so dreadful. Or is it that people in Takoma don't send their kids to Takoma? I don't understand. I grew up walking to school, and would love that for my kids...[/quote]

I live in Takoma with upper elementary school children.  I have never considered Takoma (the current principal is by reputation great, she started when my kids were already in an OOB DCPS, and her predecessor had the rep of being very unfriendly).  There are 2 problems from my perspective (1) lack of high socio econ peers and (2) middle school in building, so no feeder to an acceptable middle or high school.

My prediction is that the PreS, PreK, K will have some inbounds families, with many applying every year to "trade up" to an elementary / middle of preference.  Wiht Cap City very close, that will be a destination.  Washington Latin at 5th.  EL Haynes also not far.  DCPS possibilities include Shepherd that feeds to Deal.
