So the once great FCPS is now middle of the pack and falling.  But keep giving Reid raises and voting in terrible school board members.  Clearly a winning strategy.  [/quote]

OMG. Do you have any critical thinking skills? You do know that Falls Church City has a total of FOUR schools with a poverty rate of 4%. FCPS is not “middle of the pack.”

Loudoun County has 13 Title 1 schools while FCPS has 51. If you can’t see how poverty levels impact achievement scores, you’re not very bright. [/quote]

Poor people are not universally under achievers.  I grew up in the projects, graduated at the top of my HS class and went on to earn a bachelor and masters degree from a prestigious university.

The quality of education at FCPS has fallen dramatically over the past two decades.  That is a simple fact.  [/quote]

The issue is that the poor families are more likely to be unable to prepare their child for school. Immigrant or not, they come to kindergarten not ready and it takes a long time to catch up. But these kids still get sent to AAP centers. [/quote]
