[quote=Anonymous]We are a MV family of 5+ years, and I would advise families - if they have a choice - to go elsewhere.
I feel like we've been duped. 
They constantly tout their waitlist numbers - as that is, by far, their most impressive data point.
An Academic Review Committee, comprised of parents, who are also education professionals, was formed this year, and the data that they found was mind-blowing.
As in, mind-blowingly bad.
Long story short, of the five language immersion elementary charters that feed into DCI, MV students are the lowest scoring and lowest performing.
We hope that, with the formation of the new Union, things might improve, but it will take time.
The grading system changes from year to year, so there is no comparing apples to apples longitudinally. As pathetic as it sounds, I've given up on trying to figure out how my child is performing against the Common Core standards.
It is not uncommon - at all - for teachers to leave midyear (this has happened twice for my child) - yet the school does an incredibly poor job of conveying what is happening, what has happened, and what the plan is moving forward.
And regarding the principal, she told me herself that she was leaving because of organizational culture issues.
She, herself, was a teacher at MV, prior to being appointed principal, and I'm sure walked a difficult line in understanding teachers' needs and frustrations, yet not being able to adequately serve them as a school leader. Many families feel that she was always set up for failure.
Fortunately, we have just one more year...[/quote]
