[quote=Anonymous]Marshall = West Springfield = 9 = more kids passing their SOLs than kids at Langley, McLean, etc., etc  (interesting).

Langley = McLean = Lake Braddock = Chantilly = Madison = Oakton  = Robinson ==&gt;  all &quot;8&quot;s based on their SOL passrates.

In the middle range are South County (7).  Fairfax = Centreville, (6).... and  Westfield = Hayfield = Herndon = Edison = South Lakes = 5

Annandale = Falls Church = 4

Lee = West Potomac = Mt. Vernon =3.... and poor little Stuart = 2.

On the whole, Fairfax County (as a district) rates a 6 -- so slightly above the mean point for all districts in Va.  Not exactly the shining star district that we like to think.  FCPS has some high flyer schools and some bottom dweller schools.  It's definitely NOT all exceptional.

I know some people like to say &quot;well the SAT scores at ____ are better than they are at ____&quot; -- and there is some validity to the argument that high SAT scores reflect greater intelligence... but there is also a direct and linear correlation b/t HHI and SAT scores.  Google the charts on that.

Just find it very interesting that the presumed &quot;best&quot; schools aren't getting their kids to pass the SOLs at a rate greater than other schools that are not so grandly regarded in FCPS.
