[quote=Anonymous]When we toured MVCS last year, the principal himself said that the school is slated to become one of the largest schools in the city if not the largest elementary school with the population to exceed 900 students. It may not be there yet, but that is where the school is headed.

And the school board has made it very clear time and time again that funding and support to MVCS is primarily earmarked for ESL families, ESL programs, and reaching that demographic. That some del ray families who are non-ESL like the idea is coincidence. Not the primary reason.

We talked to neighbors and opted not to send our children to MVCS. We know many other families who did not. We know families who are transfers at Maury, Charles Barrett (lots of MVCS defectors there), and maybe one at Lyles-Crouch. I think most go to Charles Barrett. We also know several who are at St. Mary's, St. Rita's, and Burgundy Farm. Lots of Burgundy families in Del Ray.

To say that Del Ray families want MVCS is a gross overstatement. [/quote]
