[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I picked Shepherd last year, quite a bit based on the intel you ladies provided--so I should probably report in now that almost a year has passed since that decision.

I like the school. My child is challenged, likes her teacher and is engaged. She also constantly complains that she liked her old school better... but since we're not moving back to New York, I don't think Murch or Powell or Brent would make her complain less. There are two classes for each grade in the upper grades. My understanding is, that's not going to be expanded. (to answer the op's question.) My child is the palest in her class. That's not an issue. Diversity extends beyond skin color.

Every parent I've met has been lovely, and very interested in their children's education and happy to be at Shepherd. You've got to figure, since most of the population is OOB still, these are dedicated people dragging their kids across zones to a school. To be entirely honest, I am not sure I would have the fortitude for that. Why doesn't this city have school busses? It's odd. [/quote]

Glad to hear you enjoy the school!

Regarding school buses, I have to say its great DC doesn't have them, and instead is prioritizing public transportation and neighborhood schools. Imagine the hellish morning commute we'd all have with a few hundred new buses making dozens of stops each![/quote]
