[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAYBE it can happen. Be prepared to spend every free moment in meetings/school board office hours/more meetings or running a grass roots campaign and get significant numbers of influential parents (who contribute to SB campaigns) directly involved.  Because that's what it will take to get the kinds of programs and fixes you are talking about.  You will have swim upstream through APS the entire way. Henry was fixed by Penrose gentrification, not APS action.[/quote]

NP here.  I tend to agree that Henry's performance (and perception) improved thanks to changes in the local neighborhoods, rather than thanks to APS initiatives.  Is the same true for Hoffman-Boston?  That school was perceived to be very weak about five years ago when I was looking at Pre-K programs for my child.  Now it seems to be thriving.  That's great, but do we know how and why that change occurred?

I live in one of the south Arlington neighborhoods (Alcova, Barcroft, Douglas Park) mentioned recently on this thread, so I'm interested in this topic.  [/quote]
