[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Based on academics alone:

1. Lyles crouch. It's a "traditional academy" model with its own core knowledge curriculum and smaller classes. You will need to rent/buy in the district. Impossible to transfer in. Highest test scores in city. As good or better than several Arlington and fairfax schools. 
2. Charles Barret. Lots of happy families and less pressure/structure than LC. Great feedback on principle. Good moderately priced rental and purchase options in zone. Lots of Del ray transfer families. Good test scores. 
3 Maury. Small community and school. Has decent scores. 
4. George Mason. Nice school and community. Passable scores. 
5. MacArthur. Have heard mixed things.

Avoid Jefferson Houston, Cora Kelly, Adams, Tucker, and the rest if you can.

Tucker is an AMAZING school. Don’t listen to this poster. [/quote]

Year-round calendar sucks, though.[/quote]

It’s actually awesome. Have you tried year round? The program has stayed because it’s so well liked. [/quote]
