[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All - I'm convinced that MacFarland is great and will be great for our kids. It's basically a new school run by a good administrator with great staff in a new building just waiting for you. I fully expect my third grader to attend.

I've met Principal Sanders enough times to get a good sense of who and how he is. He is likable and bilingual (bilingual family too!) and has a lot of experience with longtime DC families and appreciates the community that he has and what DC needs to build here. He came out of Powell and has high school experience.

One negative is his support for UNC, but I mean, come on.[/quote]

Agreed with everything you've said. Go Blue Devils  :lol: [/quote]

What makes you convinced MAcFarland will be great.  The feeders are not solid enough and don't have any signficant cohort of UMC students. the test scores? its takes decades to create a solid middle school and thats only when more UMC families commit to it. Deal and SH are both examples of this.[/quote]

What if, instead of focusing on what the test scores are, we look at how much the students improve each year?[/quote]
