Sure but no one considers Langley to be the best high school in FCPS (not including TJ which is a magnet school). It's either both Langley and McLean or just McLean when people refer to the best Fairfax high schools. |

Poor trolling attempt. |

In my view top scores do not equal best school necessarily. It just means the students already come highly motivated and have a good support system at home. Is the education at those schools actually better? Langley or Mclean might have five sections of Calc BC, while Edison might only have one section, but the curriculum should be the same. How effective are teachers? How much are the kids learning, taking into consideration what their starting points are.
And also: “Hispanic” does not automatically mean “English learner” or “Low performing”. |

Which group is this? |

They switch places every so often but are pretty consistently top 2. That’s why when out of towners ask which they should choose when moving in, we tell them to consider their commute, the condition of the buildings, and which house on the market is their favorite rather than worry about the “best” school. |

If students arrive in class highly motivated and with a good support system, it seems likely the teachers will be better positioned to cover the curriculum at the intended pace and depth. |

Not just their commute to work, but also the commute their kids might have to school. |

| I bet TJ drops by 100 and the top few behind TJ jump by 20-30, for 2024. |

Class of 2025 is the first TJ class admitted under the new system. |

+1. My DD (former Langley student) only took the SAT once and got a 1380. She opted not to take it again because she knew she would go TO since she believed many of her peers would have ad higher scores. Many students felt the same way, so it makes sense for the average SAT score to be lower than before the pandemic. I think as more colleges get rid of TO, we are going to see SAT scores go up again. As for the AP scores, she got 4s and 5s, but if the overall Langley average was lower, it's possible her peers prepped more for the SAT than for APs. |

As a statistician, I can tell you there is not nearly enough information here to draw any conclusions. |

What do you mean? It’s a matter of fact that SAT scores have dropped more over the past 6 years in FCPS on average than in either Virginia or the nation. There could be different explanations as to why that’s the case but regardless of whether you’re a statistician or not facts are facts. |

That what happens when you closed schools from 4 years.
I will never get. Over it. They were robbed to 3 school years 2019-2020 2020-2021 And 2021-2022 because they had to wear mask. 3 years without them learning a thing now they wonder what they did do and bad |
