[quote=Anonymous]16:06, I'm the PP with the numbered points.  Re: Shepherd, we're there now.  The upper grades are majority OOB.  Many Shepherd IB families left several years ago when there was a lot of instability and about 6 principals in two years.  Under the most recent principal, Mrs. Miles, the percentage of IB families has slowly ticked up, especially since adding the International Baccalaureate program, but still only 34% IB overall.  However, the early grades have a lot more IB families (PK3 is 100% IB).  And yes there are a handful of J&J families at Shepherd.

I'm not from DC, but I hear all the time from Shepherd alums in the neighborhood how great and sought after the school used to be, and how engaged all the families were.  I'm hoping the school continues to gain IB families (although many OOB families are also wonderful, and many live nearby).  I think it's on its way to regaining that community feel that it apparently once had.

I'm a total supporter of public schools and we plan on considering Deal--just not sure about Wilson.  I saw that the guy arrested for the 7/4 metro murder is a 2014 Wilson grad--I'm worried if lots more of his ilk are at Wilson.  Also, husband is pushing for private for h.s., so we'll see.
