[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should also get rid of immersion, move that to a lower ses school that has capacity. Too many people are using it as a reason to attend a McLean school when they are zoned for a bad school[/quote]

Most immersion kids come from other elementary schools in the Langley, McLean, and Marshall pyramids.  They are there for the immersion program, not to avoid a “bad school.”

You could move the French program to a low SES school and then the program would just die or get turned into yet another Spanish immersion program in a few years. [/quote]

Well, are there any "good schools" left in FCPS?[/quote]

Most people are happy with their schools even if they aren’t happy with the leadership at the Gatehouse/SB level.

PP suggested there were a lot of kids placing to KG from Westgate and Timber Lane because they are “bad schools.”  In fact, only a small number of students transfer to KG from any single school, and people are generally happy with both Westgate and Timber Lane. More kids place into the French immersion program from Spring Hill, Chesterbrook, Haycock, and Shrevewood than from Timber Lane. [/quote]
