[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this lack of focus on academic excellence is in all the local school systems?[/quote]

When someone says there is a lack of focus on academics here, what they really mean is a lack of personal attention to their pyramid. Everyone wants their pyramid to be at the forefront of FCPS's agenda. They want their HS to have cutting-edge facility renovations, smaller AP classes, funding for STEM extracurriculars, etc.

In Dr. Reid's latest weekly message, she wrote about efforts at Mountain View to improve academic outcomes there. Why doesn't that work count as a focus on academic excellence?[/quote]

Yeah, how dare parents ask for some small measure of attention to their pyramid, if it's not a special school like Mountain View for "students whose life circumstances often result in interrupted schooling"?

FCPS acts like it has a captive market where parents have no other choice.  The events of the past several years have shown that's not the case. It will continue to decline as long as senior leadership and the SB talk equity but practice the opposite. [/quote]
