[quote=Anonymous]I live within walking distance of GW middle school, and several of my neighbor's children attend (my immediate neighbors are mostly white, upper-middle class kids from Del Ray/Rosemont). However, living right next to the school, I can tell you that there is definitely a tough element there, which constitutes a huge population. I walk past throngs of these students coming to school from the projects on the other side of the Braddock Road metro station, every day. After having the experience of being literally shoved off the sidewalk (three times) by two aggressive (minority) pre-teens, I can tell you, it's made me question whether to send my own kids there. My kids are at Mt Vernon Elementary now, which has been wonderful and also has a large minority population. But DH and I are seriously having the discussion about whether we want to send our kids to GW or move to FFX county.  I think we are leaning toward FFX county.  i think dynamics change between Elementary and Middle Schools as the kids become pubescent and are facing other issues more related to gender, sex, etc. I have seen some very troubling behavior in and around GW middle school over and over again. I cannot speak to TC williams.[/quote]
