[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is FARM? [/quote] Free and Reduced Meals eligibility. You can qualify for FARMs assistance without being truly poor, but the FARMS rate is a publicly reported figure associated with the percentage of low-income kids (who tend to have lower test scores) at a school. Langley has far and away the lowest FARMS rate in FCPS. Then you have a group of schools like Oakton, McLean, Madison, Woodson, and Robinson with low FARMS rates, some schools like Chantilly, Marshall, West Springfield, and Lake Braddock that are still well below the county average, and other schools that have higher FARMS rates. Apart from Herndon, the schools with the highest FARMS rates tend to be clustered in southeastern Fairfax. Western stands to have a below-average FARMS rate but probably higher than Chantilly, although Chantilly’s FARMS percentage may increase depending on who gets moved to Western and Westfield. [/quote]
