[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Del Ray and the house two down from me is an old black couple whose 7 grandkids live in PG with their respective single moms but they all commit residency fraud and attend ACPS.

How's that for diversity? Black and criminal![/quote]

What moron commits fraud to get IN to ACPS?  99% of students are doing tit the other way around.[/quote]

It’s amazing how this false trope perpetuates itself on here.

While the great school ratings are highly flawed, take a look at the breakdown of the ACPS rankings by ethnicity breakdown. You will see 9 or 10/10 rankings when it’s stratified that way. The kids that unfortunately don’t do as well are those that are likely not raised in native English-speaking households.  They’d unfortunately have trouble at most schools.  To the credit of the local school system,, one of the elementary schools actually has a dual immersion program so the Spanish-speaking kids can help the English speaking kids learn Spanish and vice versa. Parents love it.

I tend to think of a ACPs as on par with the NWDC and SS public schools.  Highly diverse with several unique programs.  
 Perfect?  No.  But a kid who is semi-motivated and/or with involved parents will likely do quite well.[/quote]
