[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the descriptions here, DC ES are much better!  Kids have PE more than once a week. They also get music and art. At my kids current charter, kids have PE 2-3 times a week, plus theater/art depending on the grade. Classes sizes are no more than 20 kids. DC school also offer free Pre-K.  Reallyl glad we decided not to move to MC.[/quote]

And in which PART of DC is this school located?

Will you be staying in the area for MS and HS?

Here's the thing. . . .  While an ES may be wonderful by your standards, the HS isn't always so great. This is why those with means end up paying for private. [/quote]

NP. I don't think it is useful to start a DC vs MCPS sub-thread here. On the whole, DCPS is dealing with many of the same issues as MCPS, including demographic shifts in the overall population, increased numbers of ELLs, and resegregations of public schools.

PP seems happy with their DCPS charter. Great! I'm happy with my MCPS public + gifted programs. PP was willing to deal with the charter lottery, which I wasn't particularly interested in tackling. I was willing to help my kids navigate the gifted testing system, which maybe other folks would like to avoid.

It's not a bad thing for different families to be happy in neighboring school districts, but the overall challenges that both districts are facing are pretty similar.  [/quote]
