[quote=Anonymous]You can't blame the homeowners of Douglas Park for choosing not to send their kids to Randolph. There is no way those demographics can be improved in a meaningful way. It doesn't help that the previous principal wasn't really interested in drumming up middle class support. The area is just now really starting to turn over. I would guess that neighborhood is 10-15 years behind Barcroft in terms of gentrification. I do think the school performance has had a negative effect on those home prices, and kept the neighborhood somewhat affordable by Arlington standards. the new principal is temporary. It would be nice to see an administrator come in with the idea of really improving the make up of the school and encouraging the local homeowners to give it a chance. The upcoming redistricting is going to be interesting. This school hasnt enjoyed much community support. I wonder if people will advocate for it during the process. I'm very skeptical. [/quote]
