[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why moved out of alexandria city into FFX county. Alexandria needs to figure out their schools...the same cycle repeats.  Couples love it, then have kids and when the kids reach school age, they move or go private. [/quote]
Or you know, they don't. We did not. Stayed at MVCS, currently have a middle and high schooler. Not weighing in on Jeff Houston as we didn't attend but you know? Overall we're pretty content with the school district. Perfect? No. Certainly not worth all these histrionics.[/quote]

I actually spent a lot of time debating this, whether to send my kid to Jeff-Houston. I even toured the school. We were completely fine sending our kid to a school with all sorts of kids, including a good hunk of kids that are needy or had ESL needs. I refused to send them to a school where they would be one of the only children not in the previously mentioned categories.

We moved down to Belle View, which is a mixed/poor performing school in FFX. That said, it's diverse. There are all sorts of kids there and we appreciate the mix of students. So, no. Scores aren't everything. [/quote]
