[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GW (George Washington) is decent for middle school. It’s a nice walkable school to the Del Ray neighborhood, and popular with the community. [b]The school is in a beautiful historic, art deco high school building constructed in the 1930s.[/b] I think Naomi Brooks is the ES. Another walkable and popular school. You should check both out.

What an awesomely optimistic description. No mention of mold of broken HVAC systems.

Maury (aka Brooks) is not really the zoned school, but it's where the white folks generally send their kids to keep them out of either Mt. Vernon or Jeff Houston elementary schools.

This should be a fun thread...[/quote]

Didn't MVCC have a significant mold problem a few years ago?

Maury/Brooks has higher proficiency scores but very low for economically disadvantaged students.

The real measure of how an ACPS school is doing is how they are educating economically disadvantaged student. The UMC parents just hire tutors to fill in the gaps left by ACPS. I saw it a lot - those parents don't complain when their kid can't read or doesn't know basic math facts or a learning disability goes undetected for years - they just hire tutors, sing the praises of ACPS and pretend that everything is great.  Or just go private. It's too bad they keep quiet, it could help the economically disadvantaged kids to get a proper education. [/quote]
