[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are some good elementary schools in ACPS and some students (gifted) can really excel at the high school BUT I think the middle school is really the downfall.

And, there is only one middle and one high school. We bailed on Alexandria City for Fairfax County.[/quote]

There's only one middle school?  Seriously?  That's simply incorrect; two buildings with five school assignments and front-offices.

They are thinking of collapsing those structures though. It's under review now.[/quote]

This is correct, although the "under review" status is largely the product of one single member of the School Board who carries little weight.  Both the Hammond and GW PTAs have appeared before the School Board at a formal session and asked that the consolidation of the campus sub-schools be stopped and the existing structure be preserved.

Incorrect. I think there was some concern that the restructure might be pushed though at the end of the last school year, with the switch to take place in the fall, and there was push back from the community to do a more thorough evaluation, which has been ongoing throughout the summer and into the fall, with "workgroup" that includes staff, admin, parents, and school board members. To my knowledge, neither PTA has come out with a formal position rejecting restructuring.  [/quote]
