[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, if you can afford one of the "top" school districts AND it makes sense for your commute and lifestyle, go for it. But going to the other FCPS schools is not a death sentence. The middle schools are still some of the top schools in the country. This is such a cyclical argument, really. It doesn't come down to school quality - it comes down to the SES Of the student body. Kids with money tend to do well on tests - end of story. The kids in the "top" schools are blessed with more affluent parents. Doesn't make one school better than another - just blessed with good demographics.[/quote] With a few schools, you might be concerned that there just isn't a large enough cohort of motivated students and involved parents to challenge your kid. But I think that's the exception in FCPS, and certainly not relevant where Fairfax HS and the schools that feed into it are concerned. [/quote]
