[quote=Anonymous]I went to Falls Church years ago. It is very diverse and I gather it is more so now. The reality back then was that it had a lot of non-English speakers that were is ESL type classes. The regular classes had regular kids and the GT/AP classes had the same kids - the kids from Camelot and the Woodburn area. The top of the school went to UVA and other Ivy League schools. Those kids would have done well anywhere. Because it was a small school you got a lot of attention and had lots of opportunities to excel. That small percentage of kids not in ESL ended up being Editor in Chiefs, head cheerleaders, leads in drama, editor of yearbook, model UN participants, etc. In some ways it would let these kids excel even more so since there was a smaller population competing for the college resume builder positions.
