[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI - the overall scores for Hayfield in the most recent year were higher than the scores at Lee, Stuart, Falls Church and Mount Vernon.  If you're looking at the scores for white students, that suggests you're looking at older data because FCPS hasn't released the disaggregated data for the Class of 2011 that breaks down the test scores by race/ethnicity for each high schoo.  When it does, I wouldn't be surprised if the scores for white students at Hayfield have bounced back a bit.

I understand that some schools have larger numbers of high-performing, college-bound students than others, but I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a decent number of motivated students at any FCPS high school.   The Kingstowne area that feeds into Hayfield and Edison generally is a pretty nice area that's an attractive place to live for those working in DC, Alexandria or Fort Belvoir.

Yes, the only break down by race is for the prior three years.  So, these are 2009-2010 numbers I'm referring to.  Only the overall SAT average scores are available for 2010-2011 (but the breakdown should be out later this month).  I noticed that the Hayfield white students' scores for the last three years show a downward trend, although the school's overall scores are relatively stable.  I don't think looking at stats one year back is really "older" scores.  It's just the last scores available.

Anyone else have insight on what the culture is like at Hayfield?[/quote]
