So 7 in FCPS, 6 in MCPS, 1 in APS and the FCCPS high school.

Impressive for FCPS since it also has the largest and strongest magnet in the region. [/quote]

And what are the corresponding enrollment #s for each district?

(And TJ also pulls from APS, LCPS, maybe FCCPS)[/quote]

Fairfax has around 180,000 total enrollment verse around 27,000 for Arlington.  It’s also a  very highly segregated school district due to the housing policy and forms.  So that right there explains pretty much all of it.[/quote]

Yet it’s the folks in Arlington who need to let you know they live in “North Arlington” rather “South Arlington.” Go figure! [/quote]

I’m not sure what you mean.  Arlington is segregated too.  Yorktown has the least affordable housing developments feeding into it.  It’s ranked so high because the student population is so wealthy.  Fairfax had the same situation with a bunch of its schools, only it’s even more pronounced. Both districts have the same demographic situation within their schools, Fairfax is just larger.  It has 30ish high schools whereas Arlington has 3 neighborhood high schools.[/quote]
