[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this thread turned into mean craziness. Here are some points.

1. My child does not need or have a tutor. The teachers are excellent AND caring.

2. If the city actually wanted equity/equal whatever they would bus the rich English speaking kids who go to Lyles Crouch to the other schools. That's the only difference in scores! Lyles crouch has huge class sizes in an old tiny classrooms. The difference on score test scores would also go up everywhere if Alexandria city council did not keep courting economically disadvantaged people.[/quote]

The "rich English speaking kids" left and went private during the pandemic and haven't returned. It's not the demographics that is the difference, it's the curriculum at LC. [/quote]

Disagree.

What exactly do you mean by curriculum? Please post a link. Thanks! Why do all Alexandria school posts come back to you posting this??[/quote]

Not the PP but I find it interesting that anytime L-C comes up, people like you attack it. L-C is the only school with a different curriculum and it blows every other ACPS school out of the water on proficiency scores. It doesn't matter what segment you look at L-C is the ONLY school in ACPS that performs well. It doesn't take much to put things together.

Now, why don't you want other students to have the same successes at the L-C students? Why do you want to hold them back? Why so resistant to positive change?

Aren't you for equity?[/quote]

Okay, I'll bite. In the budget p.173 it says that LC is allocated an additional $39,000 dollars for the school for their exemplory program "core knowledge".   [b]Not seeing their test scores compared to others schools blowing anyone out of the water though.[/b]

GM on the other hand is allocated an additional $71,000 for an additional science teacher.

What test scores are you looking at? Because the proficiency standards that the VA DOE reports say otherwise. There is an enormous gap across every segment. [/quote]
