[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our friends all love it. Great community feel. Spanish immersion is great. Lots of community events aimed at creating a real sense of community.[b] For ACPS, you need to look at the test scores for your demographics. [/b]For my family, they were quite high at all schools. ACPS seems to fail low income students across all races. To me that is concerning. [/quote] OP here. Does that even apply to Jefferson-Houston?[/quote] We’re at JH and the hate it gets on here is really outdated. It’s got the same Great Schools rating as MVCS, which while not high (it’s a 3) is a product of the above - low income sub-groups, which no school district serves well when it comes to standardized test scores. (The difference on here is that in Fairfax and Arlington the schools with a lot of low income students aren’t even talked about on here.) We have friends at MVCS and they seem just as happy as we are at JH and the instruction and everything (special events, encore classes, etc) sound really really similar. DS really likes all of his classmates and we’ve had great experiences, outdoor playdates, etc with families from different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds from us, which has been so important to us in our choice of school. We have no desire or plans to go private or move and neither do our friends at MVCS. [/quote]
