[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on earth would you want to?

You can in Falls Church City but I want to say it was $17k when we looked into it. [/quote]

You pick the school?[/quote]

Have you looked at FCC?  There’s only one school for each level. No you don’t get to pick. [/quote]

Well, they want to go to a better school than FCPS, so why would they look at Falls Church City?[/quote]

You do realize FCPS and FCC are completely different school systems.  FCC is better than all 3 of the neighboring systems. [/quote]

Yes I do and no it isn’t. Much like a private school, it’s successful because it’s small, rich and exclusive to families who have the means to make it successful, not because the schools are great. [/quote]

I generally agree but did you know the #1 public elementary school in all of Virginia is Arlington Traditional, with a 30 percent FARMS rate?  It’s closing the achievement gap and it’s a lottery school.  So presumably all parents have the wherewithal to apply for the lottery, but that’s it. It’s better than the “rich” schools in North Arlington.

I have no idea what they are doing but I wish schools would try and duplicate it.[/quote]
