Does anyone know anything about this DC school? I live in DC and have never heard of it.
-
Yes, it is a Charter School run by the same folks who started Hyde Schools which is a boarding school for troubled teens! Read all the posts on this site and you will become well informed!

Seems to be doing very well...100% college acceptance/attendance from an inner-city school district...

Lies, lies, and more lies. These lies come from a school who preaches honesty yet they are liars!! There isn't 100% college enrollment nor is there 75% college enrollment. I went to Hyde and I know. It is a sham. Hyde makes you fill out ten million applications to any school that will accept you. Then Hyde brags that a high percentage of their students enroll in a four year college. Truth is that many of these students never attend college or drop out! Seems ironic that a school that teaches honesty and integrity lies so much. They wouldn't have to lie to get enrollment up if they truly had a good school.

There are posts on this web site about lots of controversy at the Hyde DC school some months ago. Hyde seems to attract controversy the way lightbulbs attract moths. It seems unavoidable.

Liar, liar, pants on fire. You sound like you know everything about Hyde. Did you graduate and go on to college?

The reputation of the Hyde DC school is why people are on a waiting list to attend. It is working effectively and getting results. Sorry.

One million applications...that must have cost you 50 million dollars in application fees.

Now there's an intelligent response. Care to comment on point the poster was making?

There IS 100% college acceptance and attendance. All on FULL RIDES. This stat has nothing to do with the boarding schools.
Those schools have turned into a haven for fucked up rich kids whose parents have sent them away to get fixed.
The charter schools in DC, NYC, Oakland and New Haven admit a much different student.
These people are fed up with the public education system and are willing to go the extra mile and include a charactor element in the education to this for their kids. if they don't get involved, they are OUT and the next family on the waiting list is in.
PS: The most successful grads from the CT boarding program over the past couple of years have been transfers from DC.
This is TOTALLY different from the boarding schools, so don't confuse them!!!!!!

This article is almost a decade old, but provides insight into the feasible beginnings of the Hyde-DC Charter School. I humbly point out the additional influx received from the conservative William H. Donner Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation, i.e., $228,999 total for 3 grants made in the years 1999, 2001, 2005. Media Transparency records are only up to date to 2005, so it may be more.

Hyde Leadership Public Charter School
Parent Reviews
(March 2007)
"Yes the quality of the academic program at hyde is good. The students there have an easy curriculum compared to other schools. They also offer extended help if a child is failing. Well i am a little disappointed about the extracurricular programs they really have none for middle school which was one of the reason why i put my child in hyde. I was really mislead on the sports opportunities.They said they offered several programs but as of yet we have seen none. The oe thing that i do like is that they encourage parent involvement as a matter of fact it is a requirement for parent involvement or your child will not be able to attend the following year. The rules at hyde are a little to strict."
(December 2006)
"I am a six year parent at Hyde Leadership Public Charter School. I have two children attending there and from my experience, Hyde is a very good school. I have seen this school grow over the years and I have also seen it face some challenges. Even with the struggles, I have seen Hyde pull through like a true trooper! I have all intentions of letting my children continue to attend Hyde through 12th grade. The character development of my children and other children that I have had the pleasure of seeing has been nothing short of phenomenal."

(March 2006)
"My step-daughter has attended Hyde since Kindergarten and I have always been impressed with their teaching principles and the quality of education she has received. The school does not believe in a rote learning environment which forces the students to use higher level thinking skills, which fits quite well into what my daughter has to deal with at home. With that said, I do have some concern with the surrounding environment as well as the students who come from areas that do not foster the same type of behavior that would enhance the school's overall learning environment. Much of that has to do with how the city and the school work together to ensure the safety of the students outside of Hyde's area of responsibility. Unfortunately, there is not enough adequate protection in the surrounding areas to so."
(February 2006)
"I worked at this school last year and many of the teachers have little experience teaching. Character education is stressed while many students continue to have huge problems learning how to read and do math. It's also sad that the principles and guidelines are not really lived, especially when they are tested. "
(February 2005)
"I have been very disappointed in Hyde and its inablity to secure the students from the outside influences of the community. My perception is that the teachers are very stressed and unable to support the 'grand' mission of Hyde. I'm very sorry that I enrolled my child there."

Can D.C. Schools Be Fixed?
After decades of reforms, three out of four students fall below math standards.
More money is spent running the schools than on teaching. And urgent repair jobs take more than a year . . .

I may be wrong, but I do believe there is a 'Karen Johnson' who works at Hyde-DC when last I checked. Perhaps the same name is coincidental; it is not an overly unusual one...

University of the District of Columbia
Admissions Information:
The University of the District of Columbia exercises an open
admissions policy. Proof of high school graduation or satisfactory
completion of the General Educational Development (GED) test
is required for admission.
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): While the SAT is not required
for admission to the University, it is strongly recommended that
all undergraduates applicants for admission take the test.

Achieving a 100% college acceptance for graduating seniors
when the criteria for acceptance is being a graduating senior
may help explain the remarkable results of the Hyde experience.

And the University of the District of Columbia is among the list noted for destinations of the class of 2007. Pity that they did not break down the numbers as to number of acceptances per institution; perhaps that was not in their best interests.

Don't forget that one of the requirements for graduating Hyde-DC is that you get accepted into a college... Wonder what kind of handshake deal goes on between Univ DC and Hyde-DC?
Perhaps Univ DC is amongst those institutions that Hyde-Bath and Hyde-Woodstock requires graduating seniors to apply to as well... Very interesting find, Surfer Mouse.

"The National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, had been reporting results
by state since 1990, but in recent years began isolating test scores from selected
urban school systems. . .
The test results from NAEP combined students from public and charter schools.
The Post's analysis, separating out the charter results for the first time,
turned up a significant change: D.C. charters had lower scores in both
reading and math in 2003, but they moved slightly past the other public schools
in both subjects in 2005.
This could mean either that charters are able to do more for their students
or that charters are simply drawing the best students from the public schools."

Perfect MSD racks up another rout (http://http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/sports/display.htm?StoryID=66041)

Maryland School for the Deaf's football team remained undefeated on Saturday night, pounding Washington's Hyde School, 44-8.
The Orioles (6-0) beat the Lions with their trademark strong running game and aggressive defense. The game went into running time near the end of the second quarter when MSD built a 35-point lead.
Ryan Bonheyo led the offense, carrying 21 times and rolling up 182 yards with two touchdowns. He did all of his scoring and most of his rushing in the first half.
Bonheyo rushed for 146 yards on 16 carries before intermission and scored on runs of 5 and 20 yards. Both touchdowns came in the first quarter.
Kevin Berrigan also scored a pair of touchdowns for MSD. He had a 3-yard scoring run in the first quarter and later finished the game's scoring on a 7-yard run in the third quarter. That touchdown gave the Orioles a 44-8 lead and sent the game into running time the rest of the way. Berrigan also scored a pair of two-point conversions.
Kaeshaun Wills scored on a 19-yard run in the second quarter and Joseph Solano scored on a 31-yard run in the third quarter. Bonheyo also scored a two-point conversion and Travis Oshman caught a two-point conversion pass from Berrigan.
The Orioles had 312 yards rushing as a team.
MSD's defense held the Lions to minus-45 yards rushing in the first half and minus-53 for the game. The Orioles also intercepted a Hyde pass in the fourth quarter.
What MSD had problems with was penalties. The Orioles were hit with eight penalties totaling 70 yards in the first half and finished the game with 11 penalties for 100 yards.
Hyde avoided a shutout in the first quarter, when Adrian Price returned a short kickoff 60 yards for a touchdown.
