[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone keeping MV off their list because of the neighborhood?[/quote]

Yes, the area is full of shootings, drug dealers, social service agencies, homeless people, etc. You don't want to bring your precious snowflake into the ghetto that's gasp, near poor people who live in housing projects!  Don't apply for your kids' safety![/quote]

My kid is not a snowflake and I do have concerns about the neighborhood. I am ranking it but you can bet that if we get in I will be all over the administration about safety. There are constantly old drunk and drugged men in the alley near the school. [/quote]

What do you think the school should do about the "old drunk" men?  Some of them are in that alley b/c they live around there and not b/c of SOME.  You really belong in the 'burbs or send your kid to private school.

And besides El Haynes, Bridges has a parole office on the same block and Two Rivers neighborhood isn't all that different from MV....  YY parents have got their cars broken into and a student and their sitter got robbed near the school.

This is a city, an urban environment, learn to deal.[/quote]
