[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Higher test scores, less diverse: Tuckahoe, Nottingham, Jamestown, Taylor, McKinley

Lower test scores, more diverse: Barrett, Glebe, Ashlawn, Long Branch

PPs are correct, the higher test scores are found in the more northern part of the county. But, parent involvement seems to be high in most elementary schools in the county, so it's personal preference, I guess.

My kids are at one of the schools with higher test scores and it's a fairly intense workload. (But maybe that's because I went to a crappy elementary school?)[/quote]

We only have one so far in elementary, but he is at Glebe and we have been really happy there.  His teacher this year in 1st is great and he is learning so much.  Lots of parent involvement, extracurricular activities, and an outstanding PTA.  Test scores are slightly below the "top" schools, but not much.  And it is more diverse which IMO is a good thing...this is changing, though, and the school is getting less diverse each year.
