[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-I recommend connecting with people on some of the ACPS Facebook groups or in person. Discussions on ACPS and Alexandria in general on this board get nutty in a way I’ve never experienced in real life and I’ve lived here for 17 years and have 2 kids in ACPS. It’s not all rosy, but I think the anonymity of this board lets people say things in a way they would never dream of saying it in person (not limited to ACPS-on almost any topic). It’s also impossible to tell if the extreme views (pro and con) are multiple people or 1 or 2 really vocal people. Or people who actually have any experience with the schools. [/quote]

Agree. This is a terrible forum to ask for opinions on ACPS. The anonymity takes away from the credibility of the commentary. You will never know if the person actually is at ACPS. This anonymity of the forum also enables racist tropes and racist commentary about a diverse school system. I would recommend the ACPS Facebook groups as mentioned, the school PTAs (all have Facebook pages themselves), and NextDoor, as well as visiting the schools and getting to know the parents and communities through play dates and events.[/quote]
