[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been here for 12 years, and I honestly think the schools have gone downhill since we moved here. [b]My kids are now in HS and college prospects are dim - people like to say it's like a private school at a public cost, but our college admissions say otherwise. [/b]There also aren't the same opportunities because it's such a small school. The social aspect is also dismal, since there is no where to turn when there are 180-200 kids in a class and you've know almost all of them since you were 5. I know many people who would like to move out of FCC but can't due to interest rates. I could sell my house off market today, but I feel like I'd end up in a worse house in a so-so district in Fairfax, so we're stuck here. It's fine, but I wouldn't buy here today knowing what I know now. Only upside is that I don't think my house will ever lose value, so I've got that going for me... [/quote] You do realize that colleges admit students, not their hs, right? Your children's dim (your word, not mine) college prospects are definitely not a result of attending FCC public schools. [/quote] I do think this year many very high stats kids-national level honors/As/over1500 SATs didn't really get what they deserved in regards to college admissions.[/quote] No one "deserves" admission to a particular school or schools. [/quote] Jeez, someone is in a mood tonight! [b]Does this hit too close to home?[/b] It seems compared to FCPS with same stats had better outcomes.[/quote] Lol. No. I just think the ignorant entitlement you are dripping with is gross. [/quote]
