[quote=Anonymous]Arcola is an extended school year school and the school year is six weeks longer and starts in July. The school community has a lot of poverty but there are a lot of programs that come on site to help families. Even though it's high FARMS, more people in the single family home neighborhoods are sending their kids there now vs. 5-10 years ago when a lot went private. The teachers are good and I get the sense that the principal is well-liked by staff and parents. It is zoned for Odessa Shannon Middle School, which has an really nice new building. Not sure how good the education is, but I think that's mostly because it's middle school and middle school kids are feral. There was a ton of teacher turnover this past year when the former principal left, so there are a lot of new/new to MCPS teachers. Odessa Shannon split articulates to Northwood and Kennedy so kids from MS will be split up, plus some will use the DCC process to go to other schools.[/quote]
