[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crime issue aside (not that it is not deeply concerning, you just can't blame the school for the neighborhood crime problems) People love to pretend that there isn't a single other school in this city that has been facing major challenges these past few years other than MV. For better or worse the MV parents were willing to put their shit in the streets last year in hopes of seeing the necessary changes. There are a lot of frustrated parents at many schools but they are more interested in protecting their schools reputations and putting on happy faces and I don't blame them one bit. And let's face it, DCUM loves nothing more than a pile on.

I am not parent at Cook but I am a parent at Calle 8 and it does (so far...) appear that the administration has taken these concerns seriously and have made changes to the benefit of the students and the teachers. I am sure there is much more work to be done and challenges in righting the ship but I do think think there is reasons to be hopeful about the future at MV.

Cue pile on and all the reasons why I am wrong and an idiot for keeping my kids at MV ✌️[/quote]

I don't think it's crazy at all to attend Calle Ocho. PARCC scores came in pretty strong, and the neighborhood is nice. But P St... just wow. It's amazing how it has fallen from the pinnacle of desirability it once occupied.

Yes all schools have seen major challenges, but some are more major than others. Mundo and Two Rivers are struggling hard, while Inspired is chugging along, for example. Seaton and Garrison are growing and doing well. Langley opened a third Kindergarten and has more kids than ever before. The trouble Mundo is having is worse than at many other schools in the area.
