[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please tell me how Glebe is "substandard" to Jamestown.  What is exactly better?  [/quote]

Resources, student quality, and test scores. Full stop.[/quote]

You are a bigoted idiot.  Full stop.  [/quote]

I am a Glebe parent.  So far we have been very happy with the school - I have a 1st grader.  Good teachers, very active PTA, lots of resources available.  Not sure what the PP meant by "student quality", but I can only guess he/she meant "not white and wealthy".  Yes, Glebe has more minority students than the 85%+ white schools like Nottingham and Jamestown.  From what I know about Glebe, it did have some issues awhile back and test scores were not so good, but that has changed in the past few years.  And IMO test scores are certainly not what make a school "the best".  I do think somewhere along the way, Glebe got a "bad" reputation so that will take awhile to overcome.  It always seems to come up in these conversations as one of the lesser schools in N. Arlington.  But for us, it has been just fine.  That said, I haven't been to Nottingham and Jamestown - maybe if I did go there, I would be just blown away by how superior they are.  Somehow I doubt it though.  [/quote]
