[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not an Arcola parent but a MCPS teacher. Arcola has a high FARMS (free and reduced meals services) student population, which means many of the students are low income and highly impoverished. Arcola also has a high student population where English is not the first language of many of the students. This, in addition to other factors such as its low test scores have made Arcola a year round school program in MCPS. Arcola is one of two schools where the students attend all year round.

I personally, would not move into that cluster, perhaps try other clusters to see where your budget could work. Downtown Silver Spring has better schools such as Woodlin, Flora Singer, Oakview, Pinecrest ES, Rock Creek Forrest or try the Takoma Park area---- Sligo Creek ES or Takoma Park ES. [/quote]

OP asked for first-hand experience, not a summary of demographic data plus your opinion that schools with fewer poor/ESOL kids are better schools.[/quote]

I actually have first hand experience, you jerk, as evidenced by stating that I am a MCPS teacher.  :roll: [/quote]

You're an MCPS teacher [i]AT ARCOLA ES[/i]?[/quote]
