[quote=Anonymous]I have heard that some of the other Alexandria Elementary schools had problems like JH (well...maybe not quite as bad as JH) and that parents banded together in these schools and forced changes. I am specifically thinking about Maury Elementary. That school still has a good chunk of disadvantaged kids, but parents from more affluent backgrounds decided they were all going to send their kids there and that created positive changes. The rising tide lifted all boats. Given that the JH district now also includes all of those upper income townhomes in Potomac Yards and Potomac Greens, not to mention the ongoing gentrification in North Old Town, do you think something like at Maury will happen for JH? The new school building is only a building, but it sure is nice...[/quote]
