[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people not like ACPS schools because they are failing racial / ethnic minority and low-income students?  For our children TC Williams (Alexandria City) is a 10/10 on college readiness and a 7/10 on test scores because they are white and not low-income.  Do people not send children to ACPS schools out of protest of the poor education for minority/low-income students or because they are worried about their own children?  New to having older children (new full custody of teenagers), so I am genuinely curious and not trying to troll.  We are a military family moving with teenagers for the first time, and I am trying to gauge what the sentiment and reasons are for not sending children to certain schools (outside COVID).[/quote]

People on here just like to complain about everything and most of the complaining about ACPS is likely by people without kids in the system. And no, the people who send their kids to private schools are not doing so as some form of social protest. Their decisions are about their own kids, not anyone else's kids.

We like ACPS generally. Like any public school system it has good aspects and bad ones. (And honestly, it is far better than the school systems where we grew up in the deep south) TCW (now ACHS) has been great for our kids - lots of opportunities, really good teachers, really diverse friend groups (in terms of both race/ethnicity and socio-economics) etc. Take everything said on here - negative and positive - with a truck sized grain of salt.
