[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which of the other high schools are the best? I recently heard about gang problems at some of them, which is alarming. We obviously want to avoid those. Which ones are experiencing gang violence? Are any of the ones that are not W schools and not filled with gangs better or worse for kids on an IEP?[/quote]

There are gangs in the DC Metro area- whether it's DC, Northern VA, MoCo, etc. just as there are in other major metropolitan areas of the U.S.  There may be some gangs in some schools, I'm sure of it- but just because a school doesn't have a gang problem today, doesn't mean that it will remain gang-free year after year. What I do know is that high schools in MCPS have around 2,000 kids and for every single one of them, majority of the kids don't associate with gangs. If you've raised your kid right, then they'll be in the majority.  Also, the kids who are in gangs are not bothering the "good" students who don't associate with them. Their beef is with rival gang members. [/quote]
