[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do a search for George Mason and you'll see some older threads. The school used to be pretty solid. It seems to me to be sliding. Not impressed with the principal, who is not as good as the preceding one. [b] growing section 8 population [/b]who require a lot of teacher time. It's still the top scorer test wise, though. [/quote] Which buildings in the zone did not have Section 8 say five years ago, and have it now? [/quote] The families in those buildings have more kids per family - 3 to 4 - vs. in the SFH in the George Mason zone - 1 to 2 and maybe a couple families with 3+. So the growth in families is likely the younger kids are becoming school age so one family a couple years ago had 1 kid at the school, now there are 2 and next year there might be 3. [/quote] That implies that a few years ago the Section 8 families were smaller. [/quote]
