[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is hilarious in regards to ACPS. Jefferson Houston was literally the lowest performing school *in the entire state* .

What did the Ds do to 'improve it? They redistricted the boundaries to flood it with wealthy white kids to boost scores and give the appearance of high performing and they lowered the metrics for accreditation.

Who would willfully send their kid to a school like that?[/quote]

The Jefferson-Houston school zone boundaries have not changed in over 20 years. I'm not sure where you're getting your information. They did lower the metrics for accreditation statewide.[/quote]

They did slightly alter the boundary to much complaint AND they removed the ability for parents to opt out. So the PP is correct in the goal was to bring in more kids who could boost scores. It's not a secret.[/quote]

We don't live in Del Rey any longer but when this was going on there was a 'South of Monroe' triangle group that was attempting to have their little chunk of Del Rey rezoned to Maury as it had been for something like the 50 previous years. Some parents that were already zoned for JH formed a secret group to infiltrate the triangle group and sabotage their plans. I guess their goal was to force the Del Rey kids to attend JH as a way of bettering the school for their own doomed kids. Misery loves company and all that.

Very DC back stabby stuff and totally off putting.

This was years and years ago and JH still sucks. And has had something like 5 principals in the interim.[/quote]
