[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got a PK3 waitlist offer for Mundo Verde JF  Cook. We were #58 on the waitlist on match day. Any ideas why Cook campus is churning through so many people? [/quote]

Truxton circle traffic and atmosphere.
Campus has had a rough few years with leadership, teacher turnover, and parents unhappy with academic offerings.[/quote]

Can you elaborate about leadership, turnover, and whether parent upset is valid? Wasn’t expecting a waitlist offer so feel very unprepared to make a decision. Is going this deep into waitlist a big red flag?[/quote]

I would talk to actual parents at the school. DCUMD hates MV and a lot of people commenting don’t have kids there. I am not there but know a few families that are overall happy. The neighborhood is a prime complaint. [/quote]

DCUM doesn’t have a problem with MV.  Just the boosters that will put down other charters and insist it is common knowledge that MV has the best Spanish instruction with zero data to support the claim.[/quote]

I don’t really see any “booster” posts. Just parents with kids at MV commenting on their experiences and then someone (probably the same poster from the tone) immediately dismissing these experiences. I’ve noticed significantly more MV hate on DCUMD posts than Mv boosters. And you clearly don’t have a kid at the school so what’s the deal. I don’t have a kid at MV so I personally wouldn’t comment on the school.[/quote]

+1.  It’s common because some parents are bitter that charters take away families from poorly performing DCPS schools.

Oh please. That is not why people criticize MV! Because MV is clearing it's waitlist and is poorly performing itself. [/quote]

It’s really this one person policing the MV posts. Any time anyone says anything positive about the school they come out swinging. Honestly, my kids are at a much beloved on DCUMD bilingual charter and I find my experience pretty mediocre and some years pretty bed. So take DCUMD with a grain of salt and talk to real parents at a school. [/quote]
