I'm perplexed as to why some DCUM posters are trying to set up rivalries between the schools. There is enough competition and strife in life.

We are an IB family. Our kid is going to attend MacArthur next year as a 9th grader. 
She attended the Open House. She liked that the school is small and that the vibe of the school seemed more welcoming than SWW or Banneker to her. She has the grades to qualify academically for those schools. She's graduating from a smaller charter school this year. We have been driving from Ward 3 to Ward 5 for MS for our kid because the public transportation options are pretty complicated.

We are grateful that there are many public educational options to chose from in DC. I agree that the commute may be challenging for OOB students. I hope that more regular bus service or a shuttle is able to be provided from Dupont and Foggy Bottom metro for the OOB students. Most Ward 3 parents will be able to carpool or their kids can bike, scooter or walk to the school.

Hope people are able to find the school that best suits their child- take care all.

I appreciate your positivity in this post.  I think one thing to always keep in mind is that parents who have IB choices they consider acceptable have a backup plan.  So when you do the lottery, you know if it doesn’t pan out you are okay with your HS.  Many people don’t have that choice. Just food for thought.[/quote]
