[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved to the Annandale HS district and my kids are not in school yet. They are young -- 2 and 4. Everyone keeps telling me how awful the school is and I checked test scores, poverty levels online and it does appear unfavorable with statistics. I don't understand this -- Annandale HS is in a really nice area, with nice homes, great families, etc. It's not like the area it pulls from is a housing project, ghetto with everyone on welfare (not that there is anything wrong with that, but it just is not that kind of area). It's upper middle class with families in single-family homes. I don't understand the weak test score, performance, free-lunches, etc and it's bad reputation for gangs, etc. Where are these gangs? We are in the 'burbs in upper middle class neighborhoods!! Can someone shed some light? [/quote]

I have been to Annandale high once, and it was many years ago, but it was enough to know not to ever live in that district.  I remember looking for a women's bathroom, but every bathroom that I found had no doors.  The doors had been removed from the bathrooms and you could see right in to where the stalls were...which also had no doors.  They had also been removed.  And there was graffiti everywhere.  That told me everything I needed to know.[/quote]
