I love this school! It's amazing, unique and nurturing. I have a kid in the 3s and one in the 4/5s and they just love it and are thriving.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has caused great harm to my child. If your child needs special services, I would recommend you to go to this school. But if your child wants to grow up happily and study safely in school, you should make a careful decision.Other Review1y ago8 Reviews - Ross Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, in-class parent volunteer, parent chaperone (had to clear an FBI background check and get finger printed), PTA representative, I was very excited about Ross. But what I saw over 4 years, was deliberate withholding of FAPE from dozens of students especially those with any kind of dyslexia or learning disability. Why would the smallest school in DCPS, in Ward 2, always under enrolled, withhold reading supports to students eligible for an IEP? Ross leadership would not hear that 1 in 5 people have dyslexia. That people with dyslexia are super bright thinkers, and are more able to adapt because that is what they always have to do. Ross refused to offer supports to its teachers and supports that would not have come out of the Ross school budget. Ross leadership is focused on raising money from the the parents of the lower grades to pay for everything in the school. Dyslexia is usually recognized and or diagnosed btwn 2-5 grades when the work gets harder, and yet it can be detected as early as pre-k. Ross refused phonics and to give teacher training in Child Find- a federal and state law. Why would Ross NOT even support its own teachers in academic expertise? People want to teach as a small school, so why is there an intense turnover rate of teachers at Ross? For 10 years, Ross leadership refused to place a parent representative on the Personnel Committee so that the parents could have input on teacher hirings. Why? Parents, PTA, and LSAT signed a petition and sent it around to OSSE and others for Ross leadership in order to force a placement of a parent on this committee. This letter also demanded that Ross leadership hire non-white teachers, to hire racially diverse, teachers, representative of DCPS. Why did this have to happen? Ross could be a vanguard of change. It could be an incredible school for reading and writing, and why not? With this focus, students from 2-5th grades would stay rather than leave in a mass exodus in 3rd and 4th grades and/or leaving the DCPS system altogether. DC Council passed The Decoding Dyslexia bill- Ross Leadership should take everything in that bill and run with it!! It should become the top example for how the measures in that bill can turn around an entire school especially after 3 yrs of COVID school shutdown, Canvas, Teams, etc...(spring 2020, SY 2020-2021, fall 2021).Parent Review3y ago28 Reviews - Thomson Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDCPS's hidden gem! Thomson has fantastic instructional leadership, including one of the best and longest serving principals in the district, who greets every child by name. She's been able to attract - and retain! - a group of high-flying teachers. The diversity is a huge plus. The parent community is warm and friendly. My child is reading and doing math well above grade level and has been continually pushed and challenged academically. The school offers great social-and-emotional education too...my son will do "rainbow breathing" to calm himself down in tough moments. The IB curriculum is rich and deep and encourages kids to ask questions and be curious. Also feeds one of the stronger middle schools in DC. (Feeder high school is another story). Would definitely recommend Thomson to anyone!Parent Review1y ago20 Reviews - Garrison Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur 2nd grader has gone to Garrison since kindergarten and we cannot say enough good things about the school. From the principal to even the security, everyone is engaged with the students. The principal is a constant presence and knows all the students. There is a sustained effort to communicate with the parents. We feel like the faculty is invested in our child's education. Highly recommend.Parent Review2mo ago41 Reviews - Hyde-Addison Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWith a child in Pre-K and 5th grade, my kids have both had amazing experiences. Teachers are passionate about the Reggio Emelia approach and are serious about applying it, especially in the younger classes before DC standards and testing come into it. In 4th grade my son said his teacher made him love math. My Pre-k daughter is learning so much in what is clearly a creative and self-led manner.Parent Review3y ago3 Reviews
