This goes for any school.  Only the very fervent supporters or detractors take time in this space. The other 99% of us are somewhere in between.[/quote]

I don't know, I read a lot of in between posts here. But I agree you should probably give the in betweeners more weight and beware of the super negative or positive on any school. Usually there are both, unless something is seriously wrong at the school in which case you'll get a ton of negative (ahem, SSMA).

What you should do is use detailed feedback from those who clearly attend the school to then ask questions either of the school or of current parents directly.[/quote]

+100. What's notable in this thread is nobody stepping up to validate MV academics.[/quote]

My child doesn’t go to MVP but I can tell you it’s much better than our IB neighborhood school.  The cohort is also much better performing.  And keep in mind that many who post negative comments don’t say where their child goes to school and how it compares to MV.

Better than your IB is faint praise.  [/quote]

Don’t think so when there is 30+ percentage difference in competency.  But hey you can stay at your IB school while many families play the lottery for better ones. [/quote]

Sure but if you don't name the IB, people won't know that.  Having better scores than Langley or Walker-Jones is not very impressive unless you say how much better.[/quote]

Irrelevant when I just said how much better.  That spread also is not uncommon looking at many of the IB non-Capitol Hill schools EOTP.

But hey nothing to see here with that spread and low turnover of families who leave MV compared to many of the neighborhood schools who bleed out families in the upper grades.  [/quote]

MV scores still aren't that great, especially for the demographics.  If I really wanted Spanish I'd move IB for Bancroft or Oyster.  Far better scores.[/quote]

Here’s news for you.  Many families are not interested in moving.   And we don’t care about demographics.  We don’t care if the kids are black, white, Asian, rich or poor. We care about a large peer group being at or above grade level.

Ok, go ahead and pat yourself on the back for scores for high-income kids that are way lower than for similar kids elsewhere in the city.[/quote]

Mundo doesn’t get to kick out special needs kids like oyster.

Also id take lower test scores over having no self esteem after the military like scream discipline you find at oyster.  [/quote]
