TEC parent groups are doing such a huge push this year to drum up interest in the school. I don't really understand why if there are in bounds kids wait listed. Is it to get high SES families to rank it higher since it's really action now?

I would assume as an early action school that they wouldn't take any OOB for PK3 or PK4, as they must take all of their IB students - and the data matches this. It would appear that they had 4 OOB in K (two with sibling preference), and 15 on the waitlist who are OOB.


The problem is the free-fall after that because of the horrible MS/HS options.

We loved TEC for preschool and K! We were there many years ago, but it was a lovely school with great staff.

Anyone know whether any other DCPS schools have a dance studio?


J.O. Wilson does, or at least did a couple of years ago.

I know Amidon-Bowen does, but cannot imagine anyone living close to Takoma coming all the way down to SW for school unless they worked there.

Hi. I'm not as well-versed in this as I used to be. You can check out the data for yourself at http://enrolldcps.dc.gov/node/61.

From my reading, it looks like 2 kids without preference got into K, but all younger grades were in-bound/Early Access or sibling preference. Please do check though or call the school to verify. Good luck!
