[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this really all people have to say about it? I've talked to a lot of happy parents. We are enrolled. I simply don't get why the school is considered some kind of mediocre option on this type of snobby forum as compared to other "HRCS" in the area. The charter score is equal to or higher than some of those as well. Perhaps I'm missing something and I should be more concerned, but I thought we were lucky to get a spot there until I realized other SES white folks on forums seem to regard it with disdain. Anyways, hopefully they're all going somewhere else.

Ahh, DCUM's school popularity contest. I notice some schools are better than others at shutting down discussion by flooding threads with over-the-top glowing posts and denigrating any more circumspect posts.  SSMA's parents don't do this and thus they have a slightly lower rep; but for this reason they are likely to get a parent body not as interested in school popularity contests. It's a win IMO.[/quote]

Only Problem with this is that the people interested in popularity contests also raise money and get things done. If there is a need on special ed front, you want exactly one of those parents to be around to throw the fit for you. They have pros and cons. [/quote]
