I do know a middle class kid who graduated Langley and went on to Inspired Teaching, and I think that's a reasonable plan.
I suggest West and Whittier if you like that area.
Seaton is ward 2.
I know, but it's very close to Ward 5 (and great metro proximity) and definitely has a lot of Ward 5 kids.

The true answer is nobody has a true way of knowing since you don’t see the actual % until the school is non title 1. My best guess is that it’s more tied to IB rates, particularly with $$$ neighborhoods that have more income diverse population. And yes, using white % as a proxy can work as well. Lewis is probably my best guess, followed by Takoma, Powell, and Barnard.

It’s hilarious that PP thought that because Shepherd has black students that they have to be Title 1. Shepherd is 19% economically disadvantaged and 60% black, imagine that…non poor black folk. Even rich black folk (again imagine that). And every single disadvantaged kid is welcome at Shepherd. There is no us vs them.

I live in Ward 4 and know lots of PK3 parents who really want to stay at Whittier and West longer term. I recognize that things change and this might not play out but both of those schools are gaining families I know who are by no means wealthy and would really like to stay in the neighborhood long term.
Everything will change around 3rd/4rth grade; families will bail around 5th/6th grade for Basis , Latin, privates.

I’ve heard good things about Whittier and West (the new West campus… wow!), hopefully more families will choose to stay there.

The reality of how schools gentrify (from PK3 upwards) means that schools will flip to not Title 1 at the same time kids start staying past 2nd in large numbers. Most recently, this is Ludlow-Taylor and Marie Reed (obviously not Ward 4/5). Seaton is rumored to be heading non-Title 1 soon, so that’s probably the best answer in Wards 4 or 5.

Do you live here now? You gotta understand that it's key to get access to a middle and high school path, and for some schools that requires entering a new school in 5th. So people leave otherwise fine elementary schools in 5th. Ask yourself what your middle and high school needs are, and work backwards from there-- it'll come sooner than you think.

Do you really mean middle class or do you mean upper middle?

What Title 1 elementary schools in Wards 4-5 are retaining middle class students through the upper grades?
Any specific DCPS schools families are betting on staying put throughout elementary?
The neighborhoods we’re considering moving to have Title 1 public schools with OK scores, but we want to think long-term and hopefully stay there past 3rd grade.
Any input will help from current families!
