[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully agree with this poster. The outcomes for advanced kids in these school systems are pretty similar. Look at the neighborhood you want to live in and go from there. The major difference with Falls Church City is that the schools are much smaller. Once they get to high school in FCPS or APS, you're looking at huge schools -- Yorktown is one of the smaller ones with 2,200 kids. In contrast, Meridian in FCCPS has fewer than 1,000. [/quote] +10 Outcomes for unhooked HS students from APS, FCPS, and FCCPS are equivalent. Some HSs (example: Langley HS) will have higher numbers of hooked students. UVA or VT or OOS colleges will be focusing on the top 10%-20% (opinions vary where the cutoff is) of the graduating class at each HS. Even in an arbitrary Title 1 HS with high FARMS percentage, the top 10% of graduating students often have very good college matriculations. [/quote]
