The behavior in this school is out of control. I believe teachers and admin are doing everything they can to make the a school positive place, but something is not working. Very little learning is happening in my child's classes (which is evidenced in the school's most recent test scores) - lots of chaos and disruption. It's sad for all of the students who want to learn.

they have banned settings on the student chromebooks, (almost) every Chrome extension is blocked, many school/information websites are blocked, digital passes are overly complicated compared to paper (unnecessary digitilization of everything), lack of diverse support for students who have different ways of learning, lack of privacy and personal freedom

I attended this school a few years ago and it was AMAZING! All of the teachers care about their students, and the teaching techniques are unique and easy to learn. I was so prepared for middle school and knew almost everything when I entered the 8th grade. The after school program is incredible as well, it gives you a chance to explore something you maybe thought you had to interest in, and it is very organized (which I liked) and really helped shape me. I transferred to Fairfax County and it is no where as good as this school. I really wish I could go back and attend this school again. :)

Our son was briefly in this school before we moved into the county, and we were very happy with it. Very positive atmosphere with a very city-like feel I think.
