[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Luckily, “FARMS” is not contagious, so if your family has a good income, your kid will most likely do well despite higher FARMS percentage of students at a school. They might also get first “dibs” in leadership positions and athletic teams. [/quote]

No, it is not contagious but people who are buying based on school look at test scores. Western is lkely to have a higher Farms rate then Chantilly. It will be a very good school with excellent programs and offer AP classes. Will it be sought after? Who knows. [b]But we can predict that it’s test scores are likely to be lower then Langley, McLean, Oakton, and Chantilly.[/quote][/b]

No.  We do not KNOW that![/quote]

Hence the use of the word predict. But a higher FARMs rates tend to mean lower test scores on average. There is a well documented tie between income and test scores.

The aerospace program sounds great but we don’t know the classes or how many people might want to move to the school for the program. It is not going to be an academy, it is a community school with specialized programing. People won’t be allowed to pupil place in if the school is at capacity.

Western is going to be a good school, like the vast majority of schools in FCOS. It is not going to be like Oakton or even Chantilly. [/quote]
