[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son goes to GWMS.  We like it well enough.  There are definitely some issues - it is a big, overcrowded school, the facilities are not great, and kids definitely need to take responsibility for themselves (getting help from teachers, tracking and turning in assignments).  There are some fights at school, but he doesn't feel too involved in them, since they don't involve him or anyone he knows.

The good parts are he is in all honors classes, the work is reasonably challenging and interesting, most of his teachers have been good, and he's made new friends within our neighborhood.  There are a fair number of clubs and intramurals that interest him, and he likes being in band.[/quote]

Same here. My DD is in 7th grade and she likes the school and doing very well.
Unfortunately, we have to move before high school to either Arlington or back to Montgomery county, where We are originally from because high School in Alexander City public school it's not for my daughter. [b]It's basically one or two high schools[/b], and it's overcrowded. At the end of 8th grade, we will be moving to Bethesda.[/quote]

Alexandria doesn't have one or two high schools, it has ONE. That will never change, no matter how bad it gets or how many children suffer.  Ever.[/quote]
