Got in with a 99 last year, so I don't buy the "wont take you seriously". But the academics are not as strong as Friends and some others, and prob some of the publics in the area. If you think dc needs extra attention in may be worth the money. [ Reply | More

Village Community Sschool is a progressive school with blended classrooms (two ages in one classroom). There's a mixture of experienced teachers and newer teachers. The school gives teachers a great deal of lee-way in setting the social studies curriculum. In the past, some of the year long subjects studied by children have included The Great Migration (of African Americans from the South to the North) and the four corners area of the U. S.. I think there was a new admissions person this past year and the school required ERBs for the first time. [ Reply | More

Not thought of as being terribly academic. Many neighborhood DC choose public over VCS. [ Reply | More
