[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington definitely has less budgetary issues.[/quote] It has its own issues, including major redistricting on the horizon and no more room to build traditional schools. If you look at the top ranked schools in the state, FCPS still comes out ahead. http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/virginia/rankings?schooltypepublic=y&int=c0b4c1&schooltypemagnet=y&state=VA&schooltypecharter=y [/quote] You do realize how FCPS plays those rankings, right? The rankings are largely based on the number of AP and IB tests taken by the students at a given school. Not only do they pay for all AP and IB tests (while many other school systems do not), but they also require all students who take an AP or IB class to take the test (while many other school systems do not). If you've ever lived anywhere else, you would know that FCPS is good, but not necessarily among the best. [/quote]
