[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended public secondary schools and felt our kids would be well served by attending FCPS schools with kids from many different backgrounds and a wide range of academic and extra-curricular programs.

Having said that, our youngest recently graduated and we’d seriously hesitate to send them to our overcrowded neighborhood high school (McLean) if they were only now in high school.  The indifference to the overcrowding there speaks to a larger lack of competence on the part of current FCPS leadership, not to mention the utter hypocrisy of School Board members like Karen Corbett Sanders, who get taxpayers to fund huge addition at schools in their district (West Potomac, Madison, etc) and then object to any effort to help other overcrowded schools (Chantilly, McLean).

In other words, making the same decision now, we’d explore private rather than put up with the nonsense in FCPS any longer. It is just too dysfunctional.[/quote]

My last nephew graduates from a different (highly ranked) fcps high school this June.  His parents are glad to be finished and extend their sympathies to us dealing with fcps for the next several years.[/quote]
