[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have heard great things from parents and teachers about Parklawn ES in 22312. In the Annandale pyramid.[/quote]

Parklawn is in the Stuart pyramid. A small part of the district near Lincolnia feeds into Holmes/Annandale.[/quote]

Does anyone here have a student at Parklawn currently? How is the principal, the school? I always see nice houses for sale in this area but wonder if the families go to privates.[/quote]

Parklawn is a lovely, lovely school. Its student population is really interesting in that while it does have poverty issues, there are a lot of students from quite literally all over the world. They have a very, very high ESOL population. It's a well run school and I say as a white family who sends our kids there, we feel like it's very, very inclusive to everyone, including my kids. There is a push to create local level IV AAP classes there, fyi.[/quote]

I'd feel they'd have to add more AP classes.  I feel sending my student there with a lot of ESOL students would hinder her learning.  My DC is pretty advanced for their age so I'd rather they be somewhere where AP classes are offered right away.  We will visit the school, but if I don't like it I'll go private until they can get into Belvedere Elementary School[/quote]
