Reply to comment by Thursigar in I have a child with an IEP, which school district would be best? by Thursigar

West End school is anything west of Brookland Middle.

That said I am very pleased with the SPED resources my child gets at Longdale Elementary, a school people wouldn't call a West End school because it's East of Woodman Rd. But in my zip code (23060) there's both Greenwood Elementary & Longdale Elementary, and they are 2 very different schools that are just 2 miles apart.

I feel there's some misinformation about East End schools, engaging families that value education do find engaging teachers in the East, but I won't deny the socio economic difference between what feeds Brookland vs what feeds Hungary Creek or even my kid's elementary school and the neighboring school Greenwood.

I should do a better job of not perpetuating the stereotypes - thank you for pointing that out.

I have taught with two SPED teachers and the principal at Longdale. They are all wonderful people and I will pass on the compliment when I see them!
