[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't "hurt" them.  It's just reveals what they actually are at the ms level (to some extent).

It may "hurt" the image of LJ.  But the image was false up to this point if anyone was using LJ's reputation to assess the desirability of the pyramid.

The white and asian students at the MS are high performers (on SOLs) and that remains true at the HS level (even though their proportional representation in the schools change from MS to HS with the loss of the OHS and JMHS kids).  They aren't "hurt" b/c they still have the same teachers and programs at the MS level.

The Great Schools rating may take a hit.  Housing values *may* take a hit (only if you assume that the housing values are influenced by the MS.  I would argue that housing values are mainly affected by the HS pyramid -- which will not change).

So, no.  I do not agree that Falls Church pyramid familes/kids at LJ will be "hurt" by this move.  Only their egos.  But the underlying skill sets/achievements will be the same.[/quote]
