Should this be the priority over all else? I mean cooper and langley are / have gotten major renovations and expansions ?

Mclean high looks like a 3rd work slum school

That area subsidizes the rest of the county.

It's really not everyone else's fault that McLean mommies didn't do their research and were instead just focused on the name of their town. Deal with it or get a job so you can help daddy pay for private school.

Ah, the usual clowns have shown up right on schedule.

People in the district reasonably could have expected FCPS to treat them equitably when it came to school facilities. And the county has been actively encouraging people to move into the district, which includes just under 1/2 of Tysons, for years.

Stop complaining, Mclean Mommy.

A bunch of spoiled brats. Send them all to Justice HS.

Exactly. It's optics. They can't renovate both McLean and Langley (the schools with the richest kids in the entire area) and then leave schools with poor kids to rot.

I went to McLean and graduated in 2000. It was renovated after I graduated. Everyone needs to relax. Rich kids don't "deserve" this more than any other kid.

DP but this is exactly it -
Too many high needs people and spreading resources thin is why everyone suffers

Wrong. My MHS kids talk about the embarrassing facilities at MHS frequently, especially the bathrooms. Almost every time we go to another FCPS high school (other than Annadale and Justice), they comment on how nice it is compared to theirs.

No one at McLean is suggesting it get preferential treatment. But when people suggest that McLean be treated similarly to other, newer, less crowded schools that have either got additions outside the renovation queue or much more elaborate renovations, they still get pushback from people who make false assumptions and don’t understand the facts.

I get that anyone can post just about anything they want to on this forum, so that’s fine. It’s also fine if people in the community want to continue to express their concerns, or perhaps more importantly support candidates for local office this fall who aren’t shooting from the hip and have taken the time to educate themselves about the facts and the school’s needs.

See, this is why. Mclean high students are very progressive. Fairfax County should raise tax rate and property value for Mclean residents to satisfy their desire to help poor kids.

All McLean high students need supplemental tutoring or outside school http because teachers are bad, that is why scores are marginal

It’s hard not to notice the difference in facilities. Doesn’t mean they don’t like their school. They can just tell FCPS has been short-changing MHS.

They write about it regularly in the school newspaper. The newspaper wins national awards and the Board of Supervisors invites them to a meeting every year to congratulate them. But neither they nor the School Board members pay much attention to what the kids (or the principal) have to say.
