Review these school profiles again. Use the D.C. School Chooser and the profiles on www.greatschools.org/dc to remind yourself of specific features about each school, and then rank the schools again based on academic performance using the 2011 Test Score Rating and the DC-CAS test scores provided. Private schools take completely different kinds of tests, so if you are considering private schools, you can contact each individual school for test score information.

Keep in mind that students who attend high-performing schools are more likely to be prepared for college, the workplace, and life.

** Benjamin Banneker High School ** McKinley Technology High School ** Columbia Heights Education Campus ** Phelps ACE High School ** Duke Ellington School of the Arts ** School Without Walls High School

After the schools’ selection process, students will receive one notification in mid-March letting them know which schools they have been accepted to or been waitlisted.

DCPS non-neighborhood schools – Out of Boundary Lottery: A process to apply to a DCPS school that is not your assigned neighborhood school. Parents may apply to up to six different schools. Applications for the 2013-2014 school year will only be accepted online – no paper. You can begin applying on January 28, 2013. The deadline to submit all applications is 11:59 pm on February 25, 2013. Visit www.dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/oob for more information.

DCPS K-8 specialized programs: For specialized programs (like dual language at Oyster-Adams) you must use the out of boundary lottery.

Private schools: Each school has its own application procedures. Admission requirements will vary and may include student essays, student and parent interviews, letters of recommendation, and auditions or portfolios of work.

Public charter schools: You may apply to as many public charter schools as you like. Many have an “open enrollment period” during which they collect applications. At the end of this period, if more applications are received than there are spaces available, a lottery is held to determine how many students will be accepted. Either way, get your application in as soon as possible. Most schools will have a March 15, 2013 deadline and a March 22, 2013 lottery.

Early childhood programs: We do not list early childhood only programs in this guide, but you can go to www.greatschools.org/dc and search among many programs that specialize in early childhood. You can also go to www.readytolearn.org, a website by Fight For Children with tips and more resources about your options in D.C. DCPS Offers spots in preschool (starting at age 3) and pre-kindergarten (starting at age 4).

Please note: spots are not guaranteed. You must apply through the DCPS Preschool/Pre-Kindergarten Lottery. Applications are due by 11:59 pm on February 25, 2013. Visit www.dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/oob for more information. Public Charter Schools Most public charter schools have preschool or pre-kindergarten programs, and some specialize in early childhood only. The standard charter school application should be used for these programs. Private Schools There are many options for private early childhood programs as well as regular private schools. Visit the GreatSchools Web site to find one that is the best for you.

D.C. School Chooser Workbook This is a companion guide to help families choose a school. There are many schools to choose from, including DCPS schools, public charter schools and private schools. This Workbook will help you explore options and find the right school

Five Steps to Choosing a School

Step 1: Think about needs Step 2: Understand the choices Step 3: Visit your top choices Step 4: Make your decision GreatSchools D.C. Step 5: Apply and enroll Parent Hotline: 202.431.5538 | [email protected] 15 16 Step 1: Think about needs

Where a student goes to school will affect the family as a whole. Students’ needs must balance with important factors that affect the entire family.

1. Talk together about what matters in a school, and list the 5-7 factors that matter most in the table below. Consider factors such as: school/class size, learning style, special education needs, arts, sports, other extracurriculars, school culture, languages, themes, location, transportation, school calendar, tuition/fees, friends, parental involvement, safety, playground, hot lunch, uniforms, etc.

2. Talk about how important each factor is to the student and to the family, and fill in “very,” “sort of,” “not,” “do not want,” etc. next to each factor.

3. Rank the factors you’ve listed in order of importance (1 is most important, 7 would be least important, etc.)

Important to Important to Rank Factors (ex. academic program, gym, small class sizes, etc.) STUDENT FAMILY (Example) 2 Good math program and/or pre-engineering classes VERY VERY Step 2: Understand the choices

There are many schools in the city, so it will take a little time and effort to narrow down choices to the 2 or 3 schools to visit.

1. List the 2-3 schools you’ve already heard about that you think might be good and that you want to find out more about: a. ______

b. ______

c. ______

2. Use available resources to find information and narrow down choices. The following resources have different information, so use all of them if you can! Meridian PCS GreatSchools School Chooser: The School Chooser is a print guide that contains basic information about almost all the schools in the city. If you want a free copy, call the phone number on the cover of this guide. www.greatschools.org: The GreatSchools Web site has even more information about schools, and you can search for specific features and compare among schools you want to know more about. GreatSchools staff and volunteer coaches: Call the number in the front of this guide if you want free help with the research process. They will help you one-on-one and/or direct you to free workshops in the community. School staff: It’s always a good idea to make a list of what you want to know and call the school directly for answers.

3. Use the worksheet on page 18 to list schools you are interested in and what you learn about them.

The Next Step/El Proximo Paso PCS 17 18

Schools to Visit Worksheet

Does have... School Name Doesn’t have... Need more info on... (ex: gym, Spanish, (ex: Martin Street School) (ex: before/after care) (ex: graduation rates, credits) AP class) 1.

7. Step 3: Visit your top choices

Now that you have narrowed your choices, it is time to visit. This is really the only way you will be able to tell if a school is a good fit for your child and for you.

How to make your visit a success:

1. Schedule your visit. Call the school ahead of time and set up a date and time for your visit. Find out if you will be able to speak to the principal (or vice principal) and teachers (if they are able). You also want to ask to watch classes not only at your child’s grade, but the next one up. DC Bilingual PCS DO NOT just show up to the school. 2. Think about what you want to see. Look over the worksheets you filled out on pages 16 and 17, and use the worksheet on page 18 to help guide you. You should have 5 questions ready when you walk in the building. The more you do ahead of time to be ready, the better the visit will be. 3. Arrive early. You made the effort to schedule the visit, so it is good to show respect for the school and the staff by being on time. By arriving 10 minutes early, you have a chance to check out the neighborhood the school is in and watch how the front office works. 4. Ask and observe. The point of this visit is to get the information you need to make a choice, so asking questions is a good thing. Don’t feel shy, speak up! Achievement Preparatory Academy PCS 5. Make sure to write things down. Using the worksheet on page 18, make sure you take notes on the things you see as you as you are walking through the building/classrooms and write down the answers to your questions. 6. Say thank you. Make sure to thank everyone you spoke to during your visit (even if you just mouth the words to a teacher in a classroom so you don’t disrupt anything).

If you get home and suddenly have some more questions to ask, that is ok. Write them down first, and then call the school to get the answers. Remember, the more questions you ask and the more answers you get, the easier it will be for you to make a good choice! BE SURE TO VISIT MORE THAN ONE SCHOOL BEFORE YOU DECIDE!

Maury Elementary School 19 20 Things to Watch for When Walking Through the School and in the Classroom

School Name: ______Visit Date: ______

ITEM = Yes, X = No ITEM = Yes, X = No

Is the front office friendly? Are teachers active in the class? Are the building/classes/grounds clean? Does it look like the teacher has a plan? Is there a gym or playground or field? Are teachers respectful of students? Is there an art room? Are students respectful to the teacher? Is there a music room? Are students respectful to each other? Is there a computer lab(s)? Are students focused on their work? Is there a science room(s)? Are students working in groups? Does the school feel safe? Is student work posted on the walls?

Your questions (write in questions you have – see the worksheets on pages 16 and 18).

Question 1: Answer:

Question 2: Answer:

Question 3: Answer:

Question 4: Answer:

Question 5: Answer: Step 4: Make your decision

1. List the top 5 priorities you named on page 16 in the first column. 2. Write the names of the 2-3 schools you visited across the top row. 3. In the column below each school, write “Yes” in a square if that school met the priority in that row or “No” if it did not. 4. If the schools you visited did not meet your priorities, return to Step 2 and research more schools or else visit more of the schools you already researched until you find at least 2 schools (3 is better) that meet your priorities.

School Name: School Name: School Name: Top 5 Priorities

Example: Good math program and/or YES YES YES pre-engineering classes 1.

5. 21 22 Step 5: Apply and enroll

You are all set! You have made your choices! Now what? After all that good work you and your family did, it is time to fill in the applications for the schools (at least 2 or 3) that you chose as the best fit (if they are not already your neighborhood school).

Tips:

1. If you are interested in an independent charter, private school, or specialized public school program, call the school to get an application (or go to the school’s Web site as they may have an online version you can fill out and send).

2. If you are interested in a traditional public school that is not your neighborhood school, contact your district office or check out their Web site for an application.

3. Make your own list of the items in each application and check them off as you get them done. Make sure you know when each application is due!
