[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, we've been in Del Ray since 2001 and have three kids. My oldest is still asleep upstairs while home on break from UVA. My middle kid is a senior this year and they will be attending Georgetown next year. My youngest is, surprisingly, a very talented athlete getting D1 recruiting looks as a Freshman, but they are also a 4.0 GPA honors track kid.

We were Maury- GW, then ACHS. We are white with a HHI of 280k.

The thought of leaving never even crossed our minds. But then again, we aren't xenophobic racists.

FWIW- I know plenty of people like you that moved or went private and still ended up with a kid at JMU.

Best of luck![/quote]

How could you live in Del Ray and your kids went to Brooks? Either you're lying or you got a transfer from MVCS, which doesn't mesh with all the other BS stuff you wrote.[/quote]

The south end of Del Ray zones to Jefferson-Houston (draws heavily from public housing and high black population) or at least it used to and all these people would get admin transfers to Maury and when that got harder they moved in to MVCS.  No one and I mean no one sent their kids to J-H.  I have kids this persons age and knew many families in this part of del ray.  Haven’t lived in del ray in a while but that’s how it was when our kids were in elementary.  The hypocrisy that this person is calling out others as a xenophobic racist is pretty rich.[/quote]

They're hypoctical because they chose not to send their kid to an unacreditted school that had 7 different principles in 8 years? Or that they wanted their kid to go to the closest (geographically) grade school to their house? Southern Del Ray is far more like Rosemont than it is like N. Old Town and the projects.

I'll say one thing as a parent of private school kids, I don't blame them one bit. If one thing is certain with ACPS, you need to be your own advocate if you are white and middle class. That is not the poulation central office is looking out for.[/quote]
Hypocritical to call other people racist while avoiding the black and Hispanic schools[/quote]

DP but also in Del Ray. No one was avoiding the bcks and Hispanic. We were avoiding a school the state didn't recognize as proficient[/quote]
Then why did the PP have to mention that she was not xenophobic like all the rest of us? She didn’t mention avoiding unaccredited schools at all because it didn’t fit her narrative of how she’s so much better than all of us.[/quote]
