Tenleytown is definitely in the corner of the District. How about they check out Metropolitan Day School, as mentioned in another thread? It just closed. At 13th and Randolph NE.

I shouldn't have stated charter. It should be MS options period. They've got Deal and Hardy, which are the two better public options. Plus, they have pretty easy access to Basis and Latin - located in Nw. Ward 6 in the other hand, continues to get screwed from a funding perspective and no charter option in sight.

Not a Latin parent here.

From what I understand Latin is doing middle school very well and is significantly oversubscribed. Why would you want to preclude it from expanding what is working to serve the vast middle school gap in DC?


They don't need another MS charter in ward 3. They need one in ward 6!

Washington Latin did a major renovation, has fields, space that is tailored for students who are in Middle and High School.


Latin has been quietly investigating a satellite middle school campus. They are finding their retention rate from middle to high is not enough to fill the high school. They need more middle schoolers because they don't really accept new students for high school..


interesting - do you know how many of the students from Latin move to other schools for HS - and which schools?

You may have your church / state understanding all bunched up. Lafayette isn't going to annex Blessed Sacrament, either.

Why would Latin move when they have a permanent space?

The rumor mill says WAshington Latin has a Letter of Intent for St. Ann's for either Jan. 2016 or July 2016. Back to Ward 3. Any confirmation?
