[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, most schools were fully accredited while several schools were partially accredited.

This year, only one school is not fully accredited (after the state changed the standards for accreditation).

Yes, I can read news releases.  But, that doesn't tell me which schools are unaccredited and what the means for those schools.[/quote]

The one FCPS that is accredited with conditions is an elementary school, Fort Belvoir ES.  [/quote]

Hard to blame FCPS when an elementary school on a military base that's full of kids who've transferred from other school systems can't meet all the state benchmarks.  [/quote]

I think that there are a lot of lower level enlisted (ie young 20s, high school degree only) parents living on base, where the higher level enlisted (middle class, some college or degrees, older parents) and officers (upper middle class, college educated or higher) mostly live off base.

Fort Belvoir just has a higher concentration of younger and less educated parents. When you combine that with the stress of deployments and frequent moves, it can take a toll on student achievement.[/quote]
