[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you use DCPS aftercare?  How is it?

Do you have a longer term plan for jr high and high school?

Are the Latino kids pretty stable or do they move in and out a lot? [/quote]

We do. It's okay. It was better when we had a full time aftercare coordinator, but we don't anymore. DD mostly likes it because her best friend is not in her class, so aftercare is when they get to hang out. She also did homework in aftercare last year, in collaboration with other kids, which she liked.

Honestly, I don't really have a plan for middle or high school. If she was going into middle school now, I'd be scrambling like everyone else. I know people love Deal, but it really just feels like such a huge school to me. We are also not in bounds for Deal, so it's a moot point. If we were trying to get into middle school right now, I'd probably shoot for Hardy. As for high school, that I really don't know. I'm not ruling out private school for both middle and high school. I'm also not ruling out that DH and I will leave the area all together, but we don't currently have plans.

I haven't seen the instability you describe in the Latino community. If anything, I see a lot of multi-kid families going all the way through our school. We have had some come in over the past couple of years, but they're not coming in and out like you describe.[/quote]
