[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the deal with this school? We are zoned for it but don't know anyone there. All of our neighbors are going private or St. Mary's or moving. I don't even know how to evaluate it. [/quote] It's the largest elementary (by student population) in Alexandria. About 800 students. 25% are white, so about 200 students. These white kids are getting some of the highest scores in Alexandria, 100% pass-rates on the SOLs. But the Hispanic kids are doing very very poorly. Your kid will have plenty of high-achieving peers to socialize with. And the alternative calendar will probably get tossed next year (if that was bothering you.)[/quote]
