[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm currently looking for a middle school in DC.  The three options are McKinley MS, Brookland MS, or Perry Street Prep.  Any current information from parents on these particular schools would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [/quote]

You might want to start a new thread for this question.  I know parents who work at and/or send kids to both McKinley and Brookland, and both seem like they have a lot of potential.  I don't have first had experience with any (my kids are younger), and do not know anyone at Perry.  But, Brookland has a lot of nice extra curriculars, and a nice facility, is a bit bigger, and the kid I know there is happy with the classes and culture.  On the other hand, at McKinley, if your kid is advanced they can easily take McKinley Tech HS classes, and I think there are benefits to being attached to a selective HS.  Neither of these schools has particularly impressive test scores, but has interesting partnerships and programs.  I think the feeder schools going to McKinley are improving a bit more quickly than those for Brookland, BUT I don't think McKinley is capturing as many graduates of its feeder schools.  McKinley, I hear, is getting a new principal this year, so that adds some uncertainty into the mix.  Anyway, good luck!!
