My daughter is in 3rd grade and this is her first year as a Preppie. Her experience has been nothing short of amazing! The staff and leadership support has been phenomenal! My daughters love for learning has soared. She is excited to go to school everyday. DC Prep Benning is a true gem.

My family is moving into our second academic year with DC Prep BEC and I must say that I wish my lottery results had been stronger so that I could move my children to a more developmentally appropriate school. While I value structure and discipline as general principles that students must learn, I feel that DC Prep goes a bit overboard with their militaristic regime. My 3 year old especially struggled to meet the classroom expectations and consistently earned consequences for things like talking, asking questions and moving...did I mention that he is 3?

DC Prep has a commitment to "Excellence, Always" that I appreciate. Everyone here works hard -- Preppies, teachers, parents and administrators -- with a outcome driven focus of "results for students, first and foremost." The school has improved every year that I have been here. I'm really excited about the newly renovated building, the partnership with DC Public Library, and the year-over-year improvements we've seen to the curriculum. As previous posters have mentioned, the educational approach can at times feel very strict -- however, those (like myself and most of the parents I talk with) who believe in keeping a high bar in terms of student expectations recognize that a warm/strict balance helps to push students to reach their full potential.
