The only thing that ...A, Guilford is a fine school. The only thing that could threaten it would be attentive parents like yourself yanking their children out of their Neighborhood School and into a Private School that lacks the economic and cultural diversity that can only be found in Columbia Schools which is an Education all its own. In Schools like Guilford with a high ESOL and FARM population it's not surprising that its test scores aren't as high as a School that has nothing but American Born rich people who can afford tutors and don't have to translate test questions. Your child will get a finer Education at Guilford than some $15,000 a year Private School.Spence Leanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961564411302768615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446476235001311969.post-44672743392191497902011-04-01T12:11:28.514-04:002011-04-01T12:11:28.514-04:00COLUMBIA NORTHWEST DC, I moved to columbia from Ge...COLUMBIA NORTHWEST DC, I moved to columbia from Georgia in 2005. since then I've seen the things that make Columbia special slowly fade away. All these new buildings are slowly taking away the parks and walk ways of columbia. Guess I'll be looking to move to DC soon, since thats what Columbia is heading towards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446476235001311969.post-58072450512784972432011-03-28T11:31:35.063-04:002011-03-28T11:31:35.063-04:00I found this blog after googling school redistrict...I found this blog after googling school redistricting. I agree with many of your plans. My question is, for a current resident of Dickinson, whose children are slated to attend Guilford ES beginning in 2012 - what are our options? The district seems to make no sense, and we are highly concerned about the test scores at Guilford - esp. when Atholton is so much closer to us! Any advice?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091407795374143262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446476235001311969.post-14109982489371306242011-03-16T23:18:48.467-04:002011-03-16T23:18:48.467-04:00William, Bryant Woods Elementary is not the Libert...William, Bryant Woods Elementary is not the Liberty Bell or the Statue of Liberty it's an Elementary School in Columbia that was built in 1968 and has been dealing with crowding which in the short term redistricting has helped but projections show Bryant Woods's enrollment increasing and redistricting won't work because all other Schools will also be dealing with crowding. Given the School's age it may be a more worth while investment to tear it down and rebuild it.Spence Leanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961564411302768615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446476235001311969.post-64892470326593641242011-03-16T23:14:42.728-04:002011-03-16T23:14:42.728-04:00The point of this blog is to present plans and get...The point of this blog is to present plans and get people interested that this CAN be done no that it WILL be.
