[quote=Anonymous]DC is been at a very nurturing k-8 private but we are considering going public for HS, partly for financial reasons, partly b/c a more diverse school would be nice. I am not concerned about the academics; clearly, despite the detractors, ACPS gets plenty of rbight kids and they do well in college admissions. But, here's my biggest fear: would it be hard for a fairly quiet kid from a very small school, one where kids get a lot of independence, to adjust? Can anyone whose kids are currently at Minnie Howard or TC comment on the atmosphere? By that, I mean: does it feel chaotic? Overly structured? Friendly? Hostile? When you walk around in the halls, does it seem quiet and calm? Noisy? Out of control, or overly rigid and disciplined? Do the kids seem HAPPY when you see them walking around? Do teachers seem happy? Does it feel friendly and welcoming, or like a prison, or like a Grand Central Station? [/quote]
