[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. My kid is at a SA Title 1 school frequently posted as a “failing school” on these boards. I can say from first-hand experience the school is anything but failing. Nay, it is thriving under a relatively new powerhouse principal, amazing teachers, and a small but dedicated PTA. My child is learning and interacting daily with people different from our normal social group (UMC) and that is making them a better person. I couldn’t be happier with our choice to send them to the neighborhood school. I add this anecdote here because I fear these boards are often one-sided and I know parents are looking here to help guide tough decisions. Also look to the parents at your neighborhood school. Talk to the PTA. Get a sense for things on your own. I see APS appears to have a lot of serious problems at high-level leadership right now, which I believe is the original point of this thread, but that has not affected the day-to-day life at my child’s school.[/quote]

More people like you should speak up. I suspect they don't lurk on these boards like the rest of us though.[/quote]

DP - many of us HAVE spoken up; but we're quickly dismissed, cut-down, criticized, or "that's great BUT it isn't like that for me or the other people I know" etc etc etc.  But I do hope this parent is able to speak up within her own neighborhood and school zone and convince more of her like-peers to also attend the school.[/quote]

Or this, a prime example:  My Guess? your child is in K-2.
-someone who has lives this. [/quote]
