[quote=Anonymous]I looked at the state report card and I would disagree that the score went substantially down for all groups. I have a second grader at Navy. I will say the teachers tend towards a lot of homework, for better or worse. The parents can be a fairly competitive group, probably due to the fair amount of high income neighborhoods that go there. We are the only school that will go to Franklin Middle and then to Oakton  High School, since the redistricting several years ago ( I think most others go to Chantilly). The PTO does a great job, although I feel there could be more after school club choices ( for example mad science will fill up within a day or two of opening for signup). There is NO fundraising, meaning the PTO asks for 50 bucks in the beginning of the year so we don't have to sell anything the rest of the year. I love love that.  The PTO also paid the entry fees for 5 odyssey of the mind groups last year. We have a new princal this coming year, very young, so we will see what that brings. I will also add that although I have no personal experience with the special needs program, I have heard from two or three teachers/speech paths that Navy is not very good for special needs. I also have no experience with gifted programs as that starts in third grade. This coming year there are something like 40 kids going to Hunters Woods for AAP so that is why the numbers drop in enrollment in the third.[/quote]
