This is our first year at Washington Global and my daughter is very happy with the school. I want to start by first saying that my daughter's class has not been quarantined all year and there have not been a lot of COVID cases in the school. I know the school put a lot of money and effort into health and safety and it shows and has paid off. For example, my child eats spaced apart from other students in her group and the school always has extra masks and keeps the facilities very clean. We were worried about her going to school during COVID and this has been a excellent experience. I also want to highlight how accessible the teachers and administration are. I can call and email and get a prompt response. The whole team is caring and I feel like my daughter is getting a great education here.

I was really nervous about my son transitioning to middle school but his experience at Washington Global has been great. He has an IEP and needs extra support. The teachers and special Ed director have been great and so responsive. Even though the school is virtual he participated in the after school clubs. He has also met his teachers for outdoor tutoring sessions. My son even made the honor roll for the first time!

My daughter started at Washington Global last school year as a 7th grade transfer. This school is such a breath of fresh air from her previous school where she struggled with students bullying her. She has not had one issue at this school. The teachers have been great and very responsive and the Dean and Principal are always there to help. I also love that she takes Spanish and Korean class. The school is virtual this year because of COVID, but they made sure all of the students got a computer and internet hotspots before the school year started. They also had outdoor tutoring and individual tutoring , which was a great opportunity. We couldn’t be happier.

My overall experience has been nothing but great this year. My daughter has gotten a great education (even with moving into distance learning). Her teachers are phenomenal, and I love how I am able to speak with the leadership team! I've been extremely impressed with the quality of their distance learning program, and I love seeing how engaged my daughter is in her education.

Horrible! As a formal ANC Commissioner the Washington Global public charter school has more fights than Jefferson middle school which is a D.C. public school. They need to let go of some corrupted teachers and staff members and add in hiring some Yale and Harvard and Georgetown University graduates to the team to help run that place if they want claim down this bullying and put some full order around there,no offense!

Very low. This school had potential at one point but the CEO keeps hiring skilled people with experience and not taking their advice and working as a team player to ensure students have the best experience possible.

An act of common courtesy led to my daughter being scratched on the arm by a male student, and it's only a couple weeks into the school year. The male student dropped the pencil on the floor, and when my daughter picked it up for him, he took it, told her not to touch his stuff, and scratched her on the arm with it. When she told the teacher about the incident, the teacher did nothing. Looks like I'll be finding another school for my daughter to attend.

This school has great teachers. I love the free extra curricular activities that give the kids things to do. My daughter enjoyed playing basketball this school year.

Great teachers, various activities that most children would not have the resources to venture into.
