[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been taking our twins to the open houses for high schools around the county. We are up-county, but they can attend DCC as they went to school in DCC already.  In assessing the schools they are taking into consideration "gang activity" as being a criteria. They will not even consider Blair or [b]Paint Branch[/b] as they say their friends have cited Gang issues at those two schools. Does anyone have any experience with these issues? I hate to take schools off the list due to gossip..thanks.[/quote]

I live near PB and my stepchild attended the school for a short while (custody issues). It was fine and he felt perfectly safe there. I do have a neighbor that went there and withdrew pretty quickly, but that child is a special case in my opinion but I won't elaborate on here. My view may be colored a little by the fact that I attended a high school in another city that had a decent amount of gang activity, and that really didn't affect me, maybe just opened my eyes. Actually it affects me more now when I look people up on Facebook only to find that they'd been killed in the mid-late 90's, after graduating (or at least after I graduated). Anyway, I definitely wouldn't discount those schools based on gossip and rumors.[/quote]
