Posted by a parent on 9/28/2020I think my son is learning a lot and has made great friends. The staff is very kind to him and the other children. Ketcham feels like a big family. We have just started getting more white and Latino students and they have been welcomed. I urge any family who is serious about education to send their
Posted by a parent on 10/3/2018This school is a gem. We are fortunate to have such a wonderful school nearby. When we moved to the area three years ago we entered the lottery to find another school , as most "gentrifiers" would. We weren't successful getting into our choice schools and we only got into our neighborhood school. Co

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is very brilliant mydaughter went here for 5 years and she hasn’t had any problems if she didn’t know how to do the work teachers would help she would stay after school and get help and if there were any problems teachers would make sure it would be resolved so there wouldn’t be any ruckus.Student Review7y ago - KIPP DC - Discover Academy PCS

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is just basic. The principal in this school needs to get on her job. Last year, 2015-16 school year, was my daughter first time attending this school. My thoughts were that once she got accepted they were going to give you an open house where you could meet the teacher and learn more about the school and know which day was the first day. Nope, I was all wrong! I had to hound them down and call the cooperate office just to get a call back. Once I got a call back they told me that there was no open house and if I wanted to I could come and meet the teacher. I ended up going and really liked her teacher. During the school year I realized that when a teacher was out for a day they did not replace the lost teacher so it was just one teacher in the classroom with twenty five 4 year olds. Shame on the principle!!!!Also, trying to talk to the principle was like trying to meet with the president of USA. The receptionist would always say she's busy or she's in a meeting. How many meetings could you possibly have? She just seem like she didn't want to be bothered. I felt like the administrative staff judged and grouped us in a stereotypical category, like we were all ghetto and was just complaining. Now fast forward to this school year, 2016-17, one and a half week from the start of the school year still no call about an open house or a meeting with the teacher. They are too unorganized and lazy for me.Parent Review9y ago - DC Prep - Anacostia Elementary Campus
