[quote=Anonymous]They would never give out the scores without them. They need them to even them out.  MCPS brings the the IB, G&T, Magnet programs to schools whose scores suck - to bring them up.  Some people will fight that or say it is wrong for me to say but I am not politically correct and it is what it is. And yes there are thugs in the school but you just have to make sure your kids doesn't hang with them.  There are thugs in almost every school.  Even rich white boys can be thugs.

I have a son in JW and a daughter in private.  Not too happy with JW but I don't have much to compare to - meaning another public middle school.  The school is just dark and too overcrowded. WAY overcrowded. The halls are just too packed and bullying occurs and does not get noticed by any teachers, even many students.  The curriculum is not that challenging except his Algebra I class.  The main difference I can tell from my daughter's school is that it is cool to be dumb and popular at JW.  The smart kids are picked on as for some dumb reason MCPS intermingles the lowest and smartest kids in all core subjects but math.  I guess it is the politically correct thing to do but it doesn't work for anyone. Not the teachers, not the dumb kids and certainly not the smart kids who are bored.   It isn't a fun environment for learning.  But again, my guess is that can be anywhere.  PTA is pathetic.  The grounds look horrible, the broken dark red sign is over a year old and not fixed. It just doesn't feel welcoming. [/quote]
