[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We came from FFX to APS.   I do have some concerns about the need for a fourth HS and Arlington's seeming inability to plan and figure this out. But we moved because of commute, which frankly as mentioned above FFX cannot fix, and we have no plans to leave APS.

In the case of our IEP student, APS has been gobs better. WAY more responsive and helpful.  Overall for both kids (IEP and non IEP), the rest of it is remarkably similar to FCPS. All this handwringing seems overwrought. It's basically the same.

Former APS parent here. There are no schools in APS on par with the top tier in FCPS. APS appeals primarily to white people who don’t want their kids challenged too much, especially by Asian kids who excel academically.[/quote]

Or alternatively, to play off your nonsense, maybe Asians don’t want to go to schools with large Latino populations.  [/quote]

Ding ding.  We have a winner.

There are very few middle and high schools in FCPS with large Asian populations that don’t also have substantial numbers of Hispanic kids. But only APS has found the magic formula for repelling Asians while simultaneously perpetuating a large performance gap between the white kids and everyone else (this is why the high schools are now rated so poorly by Great Schools).[/quote]

Uh, no, Asian immigrant families like big McMansions, not Arlington shitshacks.  That (and TJ) are why they live in Fairfax, instead of Arlington. --Signed, child of Asian immigrants. [/quote]

I believe you, I once went to a furniture store in western FFX and the whole place was full of gigantic, garish, palace furniture that wouldn't fit in my driveway, much less my sh1tshack home. [/quote]
