[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! We are starting this year at mundo verde… I am excited about the school but concerned about the neighbourhood. I would like to hear from parents that were here before if they ever felt nervous in the area where the school is. Every time I go I feel my heart is in my hand because of all the people doing drugs in the street. Im I being paranoid? [/quote]

PP, Don't believe everything that you read on DCUM. Here you can see where kids go to school. As you can see a lot of people, like yourself, choose MV.

That's not what people are saying. Yes, hundreds of kids attend MV. No doubt about that. But, unlike in the past, MV P does not have much of a waitlist for K and up. It used to have a very long waitlist and now it doesn't. That's partially because of opening a new campus and the loss of guaranteed access to DCI, but it's also because of the fall in quality and the major issues that had a small group of parents literally protesting in the street outside.  What once was a highly desirable school is now more of a niche thing for people who are willing to tolerate the issues.  [/quote]

More of a reflection of changing demographics throghout the city than anything else. Real city folk are not intimated by MV, and honestly are not valuing the same things most of you on here whinning clearly value. A protest?? LOL please go private and move out the city while you're at it. Nothing is good enough for some parents, you know who you are Karen[/quote]

No, it is because the school crushed itself.  Even back when it was new and good with one of the longest waitlists there were crazies who protested; it is a hazard of the group it attracts naturally.[/quote]
