blow that whistle Karen

Is your child there and you’re offended, or are you denying that this behavior takes place? I’m not the PP but have seen it myself.

Not PP but I live on Bryant Street NE just north of the school. I pass by the school daily. I have not witnessed anything out of the ordinary. They’re high school students like any other high school student you’d see in any other ward. Not sure what you are talking about.

Dog whistle lately

You need to learn what your favorite words mean.

Seems to have a good deal of Asian buy-in lately.

As opposed to teacher on student violence or vice versa, your point?

About the same as G-town Prep really.

Too much student on student violence.

Always have a few Ivy League admits, but you gotta survive first.

I doubt that there are many families on DCUM with experience at DC Kipp in NE. I’ve live nearby it for 15 years, and unfortunately, I don’t observe much positive behavior from kids on a daily basis. I am an eye-witness to large groups of students getting high in the park across from Union Market every morning. There have been two major school shootings in the past two years out front, and I’ve observed most very aggressive behavior from many kids and families at drop-off/pick-up. It’s really unfortunate as it’s a good location with a nice faculty but the school community seems undesirable for many families of various demographics I’ve talked to across Wards. Mostly Maryland plates at drop-off/pick-up…

I'd like to hear from parents whose kids attend KIPP's College Prep school in NE. Do you like the school? Why/Why not? Are the kids who go there serious? Are there behavioral issues? Are the teachers engaged and helpful? Are the academics rigorous/challenging? And please, I would only like to hear from parents of kids who actually go there. Thanks!
