[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t help but feel that the people who claim to love Stevens probably work there. It’s hard to genuinely love a public school—especially if your child is in the afterschool program. Stevens is deeply flawed for one main reason: the teachers don’t seem to care about students’ academic success, classroom performance, or even basic parent and child satisfaction. Since the school isn't ranked and around 55% of students only stay for a year, there seems to be little incentive for improvement. Plus, there are always  families desperate for free childcare, so no matter how bad Stevens gets, there will always be children enrolled.[/quote]

I think it’s easy to love an ELEMENTARY DCPS school -which is what we are talking about here.

Steven’s has great CLASS scores which measures the quality of a pre-k classroom -it’s a 3rd party service. Does that mean Steven’s is wonderful, no but it means it’s better than a good number of pre-k classrooms. Is it worth not going to you good (or great) IB, no.

Kids don’t stay because it’s bad, it has no partner school for K (to my knowledge) For example Brent (my child went here) is a wonderful school but we dropped off at 5th because the middle school it’s connected to is trash. [/quote]
