[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't really get all of the mud-slinging and negativity aimed at OP.  OP asked a straightfoward question about comparing certain middle schools.  Whether one agrees or disagrees with OP's views/priorities is irrelevant (and unnecessary) to answering the question.[/quote]

OP here, thanks for helping to stay on topic. If someone could help me find the safety stats mentioned before that would be great!

[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn’t hesitate to move to the McLean pyramids. We did and have been very satisfied. [/quote]

Thanks for your input - however do you have personal experience from other pyramids and therefore a strong preference to McLean pyramid? And why?

[quote=Anonymous]I didn't get the impression the former Cooper teacher had a chip on their shoulder, but instead was just sounding a cautionary note.

OP has a 6th grader that they're thinking of uprooting from their friends, which would be quite disruptive.  I can't see any reason to think Cooper/Langley would provide any meaningful advantage for a student over Frost/Woodson.  [/quote]

Yeah uprooting is one negative, the extra rent and the moving hassle are negatives as well. Of course the question is if accepting those negatives is worth it to get a (potentially) safer school, a (potentially) more moderate school w.r.t politics/culture wars and (potentially) more rigor in academics. 
The answer to this question is obviously subjective and I'm not asking for that. Each one here has different criteria.
I am asking if those schools have indeed those (potential) characteristics I'm looking for and to what extent.[/quote]

You're not moving from Anacostia, or even Mount Vernon.  You won't notice a difference.[/quote]
