[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The suburban public high schools around here may be good compared to, say, DCPS, but when I think “good public school,” I think of town-based school districts. I get the arguments for county-based ones, but in those, families like mine are not the main constituents. I think of places like the Philly mainline towns; many in the NJ/NY/CT tristate area (such as Westport, Darien, Scarsdale, Jericho, Basking Ridge, Syosset, Greenwich and Bronxville); ones in MA such as Lexington and Newton and West Windsor Plainsboro in NJ. Lots of rezoning around here, which I’m not a fan of. [/quote] So the schools around here are not as economically segregated as you'd prefer? Those great NJ and New England districts are predicated on lines drawn to include only those the township wants included, and decades of home valuations based on district lines have only made the differences starker [/quote] Yep. It's what Falls Church City did here.[/quote]
