DDP. It's a beautiful campus. Not that I've been much inside the building after the renovation, but from what I've seen it's been beautiful. The space prior to renovation (which I had some familiarity with) was also large and had 'good bones'. It's got green space all around it, plus playgrounds, etc. It's really nice.

I was not the poster but I agree 100%. It’s a great campus. There are challenges but it’s pretty nice overall. No complaints with us.

Is this sarcasm?

DP: It's legitimately a good campus. The construction on the third floor has been botched, clearly, but once that's under control, it should be really nice.

Yes.

No there actually isn’t. That’s why they’re frantically building out the third floor to hopefully finish before school starts.

No clue where upper elementary will have their classes. And I’m a little worried about construction dust especially in an older building.

They pretty clearly said if need be they will utilize the basement rooms (renovated and have been used for classes all year for the kids doing laptop school) or will have other options. Yes there is room for those SD kids.

This just shows how poor planning Kingsbury has been.

Its been fine. Every project in the world has some hiccups, and I think they've figured things out and adjusted plans as things came up.

That’s nothing and actually a reasonable commute. My kid at Deal has one friend who lives in Deanwood and the other in Anacostia.

Same here
