[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand why, if so many parents are so unhappy with the school, that they don't demand that the administration fix whatever the problems are.  Or leave.  Why is retention so high?[/quote]

This year is the first year that MV is at full capacity (graduating its first 5th grade class).   Many of us attributed problems over the years to "growing pains" and we expected most of those problems to end now that the school was done growing (or so we thought).  We were blindsided by the news that the school will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.  That was a last straw for many families that were waiting out the growth in hopes of some stability.

By the time we learned of the plans, it was too late to apply to private school and too late to play the lottery.  In-bounds schools are an option for some but many want to continue immersion.  So we're back to the drawing board of trying to fix what isn't working.  I want to be hopeful but I honestly think the administration will be too focused on getting the new school off the ground.  So I think you'll see families leave in 2018.[/quote]

+1. We will look for other options for 2018 even if it means moving.[/quote]
