[quote=Anonymous]I'm in Ward 5. Lots of strong options and sleepers. Whittier, is, by far the highest performing title 1 school that is a community school and not as rigid as say... and Rocketship in Ward 5. The school has a stable principal and long-term teachers and is out-performing or on par with many of its well-resourced counterparts. (would choose whitter over Takoma or Brightwood). The feeder to IDA B. Wells is starting to turn for the better. Whittier was a K-8 and switched to K-5, which helps. There are other good options in the area via lottery (e.g., Latin). High school is a different challenge. The hardest schools to get placed in are probably Shephard (not title 1, and majority black) and Latin. Both are excellent options for middle and elementary. Shepherd, if you aren't in the zone, forget about it. Housing is scarce.[/quote]
