[quote=Anonymous]My kid's 4th grade class has lost some kids. I can think of a few who left for special needs schools. Some military families who left town. 1 joined an older sibling at a private school. A few moved to the suburbs. Some moved to other areas of the country. Can't think of anyone else leaving. Now most are leaving for BASIS, Latin, private, other DCPS/charter for 5th. Trying to get a jump on things before Jefferson.

The only poor teacher we've had after 8 years at the school (2 kids) has left for another school. The other teachers range from very good to absolutely excellent. I have also had occasion to be in other classrooms and have observed those teachers to be solid to excellent.

Principal is annoying in the way he comes down so hard on some issues and then is wishy-washy on others. Not great dealing with the behavior issues that do exist. I'm hoping that the new Behavior Tech position will help with that, though I won't have a kid there next year. Altogether as good of a public school experience as I would expect to have outside of some really rich areas of the city and country. [/quote]
