[quote=Anonymous]I think people are right that there is a good, quality education to be had in DC - either through charters or some mix of DCPS and charters. The thing I think people are glossing over is that obtaining that good, quality education from ES through HS is largely driven by luck. Unless you live in IB for Deal/Wilson and are happy with those options, you are at the mercy of the lottery and/or application HS. So if it's important to you as part of their education that your child have consistency in terms of the cohort that they move through ES, MS and HS, then DC is not the place for you. If it's important to you that there be vertical alignment between ES, MS and HS (i.e., music program, language, math pathways, etc), then DC is not the place for you.[/quote]
