[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, before leaving DC try Mann!! [/quote]

If OP doesn’t care about the middle school feed then I agree. Mann families pony up over $1,000/kid for the PTA, and DCPS allows PTAs to pay for extra staff. There is no MCPS that is going to have anything comparable. But the middle school feed is a definite issue; we have friends at Hardy who are all moving to get into Deal or an MCPS. [/quote]
Mann is simply exemplary and were there formerly. Yes, we had two teachers per class and a very active PTA. We are now in MCPS and miss it terribly so. The principal who just retired from Mann is what every school wishes for: a true leader who valued discipline, academics and had a heart for the children. Mann was ran as a tight ship and her legacy continues in this first year without her.
I kick myself that we moved, in all honesty. Now starting middle school, we are going private at the end of the day. It is just exhausting to deal with MCPS.[/quote]

Former DCPS, current MCPS, parent here. There is no MCPS that compares with Mann. Or with many of the other upper NW DCPS, though Mann in my view is the strongest.[/quote]

Disagree. Much happier in MCPS.[/quote]

Were you at a JKLM with a PTA that fundraises to pay for extra staff? I think MCPS is better for secondary school but not for ES when compared with JKLM (and in particular Mann). [/quote]
