[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. When these parents wax enthusiastic, ask yourself why the Asian families aren’t touching the Ward 6 middle schools when they are at the feeder elementary schools, albeit in snall numbers. If these were great middle schools, some Asians would enroll, period.[/quote] oh ffs. please stop. there are tiny numbers of Asian families on the Hill and in DCPS to begin with, so by your logic, nobody should enroll in any DCPS school at all and we must all move to Fairfax. as a “booster” I have been totally transparent about my experiences, here and in person. my goal is really to just let people know my actual, honest experience of having a happy kid at a Hill MS. obviously I know it’s not the same as being enrolled in AAP. but I assume people are not idiots and know that was never the assumption. so I’ll say it again for those in the back: if you are AAP or bust, then go live your dream. meanwhile I have a happy, learning kid at our Hill MS. [/quote] There are other options besides Hill middle schools or moving to Fairfax. [/quote] Of course there are. But when you approach that middle ground that is affordable for regular families and not selective like AAP, those schools in fact start to look not all that different from Hill MS and in fact our Hill MS looks better in some respects (eg none of the reports of fighting/drugs/etc as at some of the “good” MS discussed here.) [/quote] Percent (number) of students disciplined for an incidence of violence in SY22-23: BASIS: 2% (13) Deal: 4% (89) EH: 18% (97) Hardy: 5% (41) Jefferson: 21% (124) SH: 5% (33) Latin I: 0% (0) Latin II: 1% (2) And for two schools with PK3-5, so rate not reflective of middle school: Oyster-Adams: (16) SWW@FS: (17) Only SH looks better than some of the "good" MS on this metric. It's hard to take people seriously when they hand-wave away publicly available data.[/quote] i’ll let you in on a secret: the schools suspending the kids who act out are actually ensuring the school stays safe. it’s called consequences.[/quote]
