[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh. I live in this school zone and we were prepared to try to send our kid there for KG. I love (and I mean love) our house/commute. It just sucks that the schools are so horrific. I don't understand, why Alexandria, why![/quote] Alexandria City residents have provided ACPS with millions of dollars over the decades to improve this small local public school system. It has failed to do so. Your question is fair and reasonable and one that each resident should be asking themselves today. From my observation the "why" is both administrative (too many changes, failure to stick to academic basics of reading, writing, math, science and government by offering to many non-academic programs which cut the academic success) as well as the well known and much discussed and aligned social issues. It is an embarrassment of time and riches for ACPS not to be on better footing by 2015. Shameful is the word which comes to my mind. [/quote]
