[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Nope. It's scary and there really aren't any good answers for you. I prefer to approach that block from the west if I have to walk along it, rather than from North Capitol.[/quote]

+1. Use 1st St NW to get to school. If you are still uncomfortable you can ask to transfer to Calle 8 next year.

Don't listen to the people saying to not be excited, [b]they are just mad that you didn't choose their school.[/b] [/quote]

really? have you read this thread? with all the former MV parents outlining very real problems? This is coming from people on the outside. I live in this neighborhood, know went in with a lot of excitement, and then were so disappointed, and who have all since moved (mostly to better DCPS schools). they are much more upset about MV than anyone on the outside.

PP, there was a shooting on the first day of school at that location last year. [b]Your fears are not paranoia[/b]:

People are telling PP not to be excited because of the school, however, PP is worried about the neighborhood, not the school. She already chose MV. She can transfer to Calle 8 next year.

People who leave MV go private (WIS) or move, they don't go back to their IB Title 1 school.[/quote]

We moved from MV P St to our IB Title 1. Not sure why you would think this. [/quote]

Will you send your kids to the feeder middle school?[/quote]

DP, but wouldn’t send them to DCI either, so it’s a moot point. Will move to Deal or MCPS for middle school, depending on what will be best fit when we get there. [/quote]
