[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just because of alphabetical order that Janney comes first in JKLM.  Way to go, Jaguar moms and dads!![/quote]

Actually, that is exactly why. The others are much better schools.[/quote]

Agree with your first sentence, but you don't have any basis for your second. Or can you add some substance to your claim?[/quote]

Absolutely-look at the comparative scores, and aside from Lafayette, whose building is newer, all the others are smaller/less crowded. The others-even Mann-have more diversity, and all of them have smaller class sizes, and there are non-JKLM schools like Ross and Stoddert that score better. I honestly have never understood the fuss made over Janney, since the other schools have as much or more to offer and dont make such a fuss-you never hear people boosting Mann or Lafayette or even Key, and they always score better than Janney.[/quote]

Oh, it's about the minor differences in last year's scores and the supposedly greater diversity. And first and foremost, of course, about your annoyance with the perceived smugness of Janney parents based on anonymous posts on this forum. Got you. [/quote]

Nope, it's the smaller class size, smaller school community, more diverse community (Janney is the least diverse of the 4 in every way), the building, the scores, and not the perceived smugness, but the fact that NO OTHER DCPS ELEMENTARY boosts themselves-I just don't get it when ALL the schools are good, and they are #4 of the 4 in my book.

...but if you need to think that is why I don't embrace the fact that your school is "the best", that's your issue. No one cares but you!

You forgot to mention that a few of the other schools have full time second teachers in those smaller classrooms, and full time art, science and PE teachers (everyone has to have FT music) which I believe Janney does not have, and yet 2 of the 4 JKLMs are half the size of Janney.[/quote]

You are uninformed. Perhaps don't make comments about other schools without facts. [/quote]

What is he/she uninformed about? Checking and comparing their profile, etc, it looks like they've got facts on their side.[/quote]
