[quote=Anonymous]NP here.

We have lived in Del Ray for 10 years and now have a child at MVCS.  We talked to a lot of neighbors and went through a few years of the SOL test results based on demographics before deciding to go to MVCS.  We decided that we liked the opportunity of the dual language program.  While we can afford a private, we would rather not just yet and both my husband and I were public school kids who went on to a great private college.  We love Del Ray and want to be part of the community.  Both of us have decided that based on our demographics, it wasn't a bad deal to go to MVCS and it is fine so far.  That being said, we are going to be carefully watching the SOL tests (demographic breakdowns) as they get released in the next years and are prepared to switch to a private at some point if necessary.  MVCS does focus a lot more energy on the English language learners than the native English speakers, so we are worried about that.

So far, I really like MVCS and how well they work with the community.  They have a very generous and active PTA, great staff, and are eager to help the students.  I don't think, as a previous poster said, you can make generalized statements about good vs. bad.  It may or may not work for your child. [/quote]
