[quote=Anonymous]Mont Co, new resident back.  Moving to small apartment in BCC cluster for Westland MS.

What didn't work for us, in one way or another in DC:

One highly regarded charter with child in "bleeding/leading edge"

Another highly regarded charter in expansion year with class out of control

One OOB school with high principal turnover (many years ago, in early Rhee days)

One OOB MS school with only adequate academics

The best public school years my older child had were at an OOB elementary with a miserable commute.  The best public school years my younger child had were at the charter where older was "bleeding" edge, and younger was relatively content (and well educated).

The thing we never tried was Takoma EC, in bounds, and I would never ever send a child to Coolidge, the other in bounds school.   I see a major problem with both Roosevelt and Coolidge underenrolled, and until one is closed (preferably Coolidge now that Roosevelt has been renovated), there will not be sufficient neighborhood impetus to improve the high school.  There has been a real loss in the boundary proposal that all the education campuses are left intact, with the promise of a someday "new north MS". [/quote]
