[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're moving to our inbound school next fall from MV. Most parents don't recognize the challenges at MV until they are several years in. By then, your kid typically has a nice groups of friends, and you have to weigh upsetting the routine against what for many people isn't a strong inbound option. So many play the lottery for other options.  Some win, others don't.

We waited until my older child finished 5th grade and are moving the younger one.  But we are one of the rare families who have a good inbound option. Think about it. You don't see families from Murch or Janney or Key at MV.  It has,for better or worse, become a viable option for those who have failing neighborhood schools. And by that measure, depending on your opinion of charters, it serves a valuable purpose and has built great demand. But it isn't a "free version of WIS" or anything those WOTP would consider strong. We know families who have moved from MV to WIS, and it is like night and day.

If MV is the best option in your consideration set, go for it. Just have eyes open and know if will be a lot of work and frustration for you and your kid.[/quote]

Oh come on.  No one is comparing MV to WIS or expecting to get the same services like WIS. In fact, it’s not a comparable comparison. No one is expecting the same education at MV than WIS.  WIS has been around much longer, costs 25-42k a year, selectively picks the students who attend (i.e UMC, UC families who can afford it), has much more resources, etc...

But for no cost, good PARCC, and Spanish immersion, we will definately take it.
