[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently, MOST people do not leave the public school as I do not think the schools are threatened by lack of enrollment.  On what are you basing this claim? You admit some go and are pleasantly surprised....etc.  Not really sure what the point of this is.  We get that you don't like it; very happy for you.  [/quote]

Upper middle class parents tend to pull their children out for middle school. [/quote]

We're there now, and nope, the overwhelming majority of upper-income and upper-ed parents are staying in ACPS.  In fact, ACPS middle school and high school enrollment are up well over 15% in the last few years.  Sorry, [b]but your post is factually wrong[/b].

Actually, your post is factually wrong.

In a document produced by the Superintendent's office dated May 10,2013 enrollment in middle schools between 2008 and 2013 was up 11.8%.  Also of note - the same document shows that at Francis Hammond Middle School the percent of "economically disadvantaged" students increased from 58% in 2008 to 74% in 2013.  This leads me to speculate that growth in enrollment may have been in the West end of the City as opposed to places like Del Ray, Rosemont, Beverly Hills, and Old Town.

The document is available to be viewed by the public here:  http://esbpublic.acps.k12.va.us/public_itemview.aspx?ItemId=4097&mtgId=412.  The document is named   - Middle_School_2013_overview[1].docx
