[quote=Anonymous]As member of the local Alexandria community and JH parent (who is high income household, privileged and could afford private school) I still choose to send my 3 kids to JH and here's why: I want my kids to attend their neighborhood school. It's diverse. It reflects our community. And it reflects the real world that I want my kids to grow up in for all the right reasons. The principal cares deeply, the parents are engaged, caring, enthusiastic and so are the teachers. The student body reflects all of the best things in Alexandria and the DC area. They are creative, diverse, unique, intelligent, multi-lingual, compassionate and people that i want my kids to be around. JH isn't a protective bubble, instead, it's a reflective bubble of the community around us. If you're the type of parent that only uses test scores to gauge your student's success (or the value of your local school) then JH (and ACPS) aren't the right place for you. Go to private school. Go to a rich, white, non-diverse school where test scores reflect just that. But if you want all of the things i've described above and you're willing to contribute to continue to grow the JH community, then we can't wait to welcome you to JH and into the ACPS community!
