[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know ACPS has maybe the worst reputation of the area publics, but my husband and I really, really like Alexandria and would like to consider sending our children to public elementary school and hopefully beyond. Oldest is a rising K and we're moving from D.C. for more space and lower crime. We'd consider houses inbounds for Barrett, Brooks, Mason, MacArthur and Mt. Vernon. Other than lower test scores compared to some APS and and FCPS schools (which I don't really care about since my kids will have plenty of home support), what am I missing? Politics aside, why do people hate ACPS? Is it really so different from the neighboring school districts?

This is probably for a different thread, but if we move farther south to FCPS, is Sandburg Middle any better than GW? I've heard really negative things about both, and of course there are the parents who like the schools fine. Thanks for your opinions![/quote]

I would encourage you to also Houses that feed into Cora Kelly. It doesn’t get much publicity, but almost every parent I know with kiddos there is very happy.

Regarding middle school, if you have a rising kindergartners, don’t go looking for trouble before you have to! By the time your child is ready for middle school the whole landscape will probably have changed.[/quote]
