[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's iffy, and there's "utterly failing" (as in 80% FARMS, 1 or 2 on Greatschools, multiple principals in the past few years, etc.)

If your immediate neighborhood is good to great (good mix of people and few if any sociopaths/users), and the schools is "iffy" (as in 30% FARMS, 3 or 4 on Greatschools, fairly stable staff, but some of your friends/neighbors are sort of whispering about the area) ... then why not give the public school a chance?

Maybe OP can put off the renovations until their kid is in 2nd/3rd grade? [/quote]

Yeah becuse FARM students means automatic poor school!  Ugh, people like you make me sick.[/quote]

so you don't think a majority FARMs school causes poor academics? Most of the people who are so up in arms about how great schools and FARMs doesn't matter and the importance of diversity are probably people living in DC that can't afford private school and are trying to make themselves feel better.[/quote]

I don't think poor schools and FARMS go hand in hand, no.  Yes there are poor schools in DC that have high FARMS, but I don't think that's always the root cause of the poor academics. Yes, I do live in DC, we have a $295k HHI, live in Upper NW and can afford private (or to live in MoCo).  We attend a highly regarded charter that I absolutely love with about a 60% FARM population and a 9/10 on great schools with 5 stars.  Maybe you should try not to assume when you're judging others.[/quote]
