One has nothing to do with the other. It's not that much of a difference between the counties, anyway.

Some 26.2% of Fairfax students are FARMs. It's 32.5% in Arlington. Not sure 6 points is that big or noticeable a difference given the number of students in the two systems (about 180,000 in Fairfax and about 19,000 in Arlington). Both are on the lower end for the state in either case. http://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/bystate/Rankings.aspx?state=VA&ind=3239....

(Falls Church, interestingly, is in single digits).

Fairfax County's budget is $2.5 billion versus about $500 million for Arlington. So if you're really going to make a resources argument, Fairfax spends $13,888 per pupil while Arlington spends about $26,000, or twice as much.

Yeah, I'm not worried about it.

Your figures are wrong, but no surprise since Arlington struggles with numbers.  It's taxpayers and parents worried about where their kids will end up going to school who worry.  [/quote]
