“The kids take their work seriously and the teachers take time to give

individual help if you need it.” 5th Grader

“There is something for everybody at

Washington. So many clubs to

choose from and the staff is

open to new ideas!”

7th Grader

“Being challenged and all the

sports”

6th Grader

“Coming together with students

from all over the city. You make

bonds with people you never

would have. By 8th grade your

entire class is like a family”

8th Grader

“My favorite thing about

Washington, by far, has to be the

Larado Taft trip. Normally a trip

without electronics seems like a

horrible idea, but a trip like

Larado Taft was amazing. It

connected me more with all my

peers as well as opening my eyes

to how beautiful the world can

be.”

8th Grader
