[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for the replies. My DC’s homeschool is technically better performing than Argyle but it doesn’t offer the magnet program classes that they’re interested in.

I’m not worried about high FARMS, as DC went to and thrived at a high FARMS DCC school. But the school was well run, largely peaceful, and my DC’s peers were serious about school and generally a great group of kids.

While I realize fights happen everywhere, I think this will be upsetting for DC - just not an environment he will be comfortable in if it’s a frequent issue. [/quote]

Ok, then with that information, keep your DC at the home school. There are a good number of fights at Argyle.

And at the 5/22 BOE meeting, serious concerns about the physical condition of the building were shared by Bronwyn Philbeck, an 8th grader at Argyle, and his mother, Jennifer Todd.

Bronwyn's testimony describes a chaotic school environment with "a sea of students all pushing and shoving against each other like a stampede": https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DGVKG851C3FB/$file/Bronwyn%20Philbeck%20BoE%20Testimony.pdf

His mother's impassioned testimony where she talked about a building that was plagued by "cockroaches, mice and rats" and with significant air quality issues in what deemed to be a "sick building."
