[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the previous PP's but just wanted to say I don't appreciate the "MV boosters" comment. There are people who are happy with MV, there are people who are ok with it but think the school needs to do better, and there are people who left the school either because of life changes or they had major issues with MV. We've been happy (experienced Prk3 through 1st) and will be monitoring academics as our children move through the upper grades. Like most families, we weighed our options and made what we think is the best choice for our children. I don't think  folks just "boost" DC schools and have blinders on in terms of either school-specific or system-wide issues. If they are "boosting" as you say, they must love it a lot. Most of the MV comments in recent threads are not "this is a perfect school" but more "we love/like a lot about it and its the better school option for us." [/quote]

The original question was about experience with 1st thru 3rd grade and at least for my family, that is when the wheels started to come off. I loved the school during the pre-K and K years, but found academics and discipline problems got worse as the years went on. And the impact of those problems became more obvious when my kids hit middle school. I was just trying to warn whomever asked the question.

I'm happy you've found a good fit for your family. And I hope the school gets its act together in the upper grades. But when you write off people with lots of experience in 1-3rd grade at the school  (when it sounds like you're only a few weeks into 1st grade) you do kinda sound like a booster.[/quote]
