[quote=Anonymous]We used to live in the Northview zoned neighborhoods. I was also surprised by the scores. There were a few things that I thought might be possible causes: 1) the school seemed over-zoned from the start. It was built too large and things like recess areas were already crowded when it opened, plus the kids felt lost. 2) many of our neighbors went private, including many to religious schools, including some conservative evangelical schools. 3) while middle class, the neighborhood tended to have more dual income families with parents who had less flexible jobs (eg feds who have to account for leave time) so there may have been less parental volunteerism in the school than you see if many middle class neighborhoods where they are free-riding on moms’ unpaid labor.[/quote]
