[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is IB for Brookland, and went to regular DCPS in neighborhood through 4th grade. Staffer at her school told me there are a lot of fights there. (Also, sadly, one of the students there was killed as he was trying to break into a man's car). I don't know how old your kid is, or what their academic levels are, but if it were me, I would lottery at 5th grade for Latin and/or Basis and/or Inspired Teaching, depending on what seems right for your kid. Then if you strike out that year, I would lottery for Stuart Hobson, McKinley Tech and Eliot Hine (though EH would be quite the commute). I had a foster daughter at McKinley Tech during the pandemic, so I heard the classes--- the teachers I heard were good. And the mom of one of my daughter's friends had her daughter at Brookland Middle one year, hated it, and child is now at McKinley Tech and she likes it better.[/quote] Just coming on to add that depending on where OP is coming from, EH may be easier to get to as it is near bigger roads (17th St, C St, Bladensburg, etc). SH and EH are not too far apart, so if they are coming from that direction anyway it may be a moot point as SH is closer to H St and smaller Cap Hill neighborhoods that may get more congested.
