[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you'll find that the curriculum is the same across APS.  So you won't find one school that's doing something drastically different.  There may be teachers who are stronger spread out through the county, but I wouldn't pick a school based solely on one terrific teacher somewhere.

Also be aware of who is writing the comments.  There are a few that love to pretend like Randolph or Drew are terrible schools to be avoided simply because they draw more heavily from a few enormous subsidized housing complexes.  The families I know at these schools are all REALLY happy with the teachers and the school community.  They run the gamut from Hispanic families living in apartments, to upper/middle class white families living in SFHs.  So if you really want to know about a school, ask the people attending the school.  Not the people hiding behind anonymous posting on DCUM (including me!).

I don’t know if you’re referencing a comment of mine but I really wish my kid was in Drew (I don’t know much about Randolph). We are zoned for a school with a pretty low FARMS population and it’s way worse than Drew based on my experience substituting in each school. The behavior of the kids is better and they are also doing a much better job bouncing back from the pandemic as far as test scores go. [/quote]
