[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow this is very helpful. It sounds like all the middle schools above are good. Any that have more substantial challenges? What makes aps better than upper nw dcps? Is it a more affluent population that is easier to educate? A better run school system? Higher expectations of students? [/quote] I believe APS is a lot better, for several reasons, but don’t underestimate the poverty here. There is a lot, about 35% and increasing, across the entire school district, and some elementary schools are 80%+ (all English learners, most Hispanic). The vast economic discrepancies between the elementary schools even out somewhat for the large high schools, though there are the demographic differences. And size-wise all our middle schools are 1000-1200 each. [/quote]
