[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I really want to know who is such an extreme ACPS apologist that he/she spews vitriol to Jeff - no wonder things here will never improve. Totally unhinged. [/quote]

"Vitriol" is putting it a little strongly. "Frustration" might be more accurate. Also, the poster apologized.

Everyone should probably be more careful with their language. Not all kids from a specific housing development necessarily cause problems so broad statements about such kids are probably inaccurate and unfair. Similar, not every criticism of the school is "racist".

Fair point. The saddest part is the kids from that housing development who want to succeed having to go to the school. That’s the disservice in this, and it is nothing ACPS is willing to confront. And UMC kids going to the school and also being poorly served by a broken system is not going to fix anything either.  
In other words, if I were OP and had options, I would look to not send my children to JH. I have said it somewhere on here before - ACPS parents tend to be disingenuous cheerleaders for the system; otherwise we feel guilty that we cannot afford to move or send our kids to private school.  I assuage my guilt by trying to promote change and publicly criticize where warranted. Others do so by gaslighting themselves and those who will listen.  
There is only one conditionally accredited school in all of FCPS (Justice HS), and in ACPS our single, monstrous HS is only conditionally accredited. That is derelict.  (JH is also only conditionally accredited).  [/quote]
