[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got my data from the school profiles. Mount Vernon was correct at 56% FARMS and Herndon was 56% non-FARMS an 44% FARMS so it was an honest mistake just mixing up the numbers. I don't really see how one of the schools having slightly less FARMS but still over 40% more than Langley has much bearing on the argument. You still haven't pointed to studies that say otherwise. One Fairfax is modeled after studies that say lower FARMS rates benefit schools, but if you are having too much difficulty finding these studies, I'd be glad to provide you with several of many.[/quote]

I hate to break this to you, but when the most liberal members of the School Board make clear that the Langley/Herndon boundaries aren’t going to change until a new high school is built, that means they’ve given up on whatever plans they may have had to rejigger those boundaries in the name of equity.  Depending on which parts of McLean get moved to Langley they might be able to bump the FARMS rate there up a few percentage points.

Anything else will have to wait until a new school is built at which point FCPS can pull Hutchison out of Herndon and move Forestville and maybe part of Great Falls into Herndon.  Until then, it isn’t happening.  If someone suggested otherwise, they gave you false hope.[/quote]
