[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is --- the curriculum at all the FCPS schools is the same.  Some people pay more in housing so their kids can have richer/whiter friends.  Whatever.  [/quote]

The student body is also important not just the teaching curriculum. [/quote]

Definitely.  I don't want those brown and black colored hoodlums screwing up my kids' education.  When is the next klan meeting?  I've got to pick up my sheet from the dry cleaners. [/quote]

Part of the ranking is how well minorities perform. I doubt that many of large populations of FCPS asians and hispanics will be attending the klan rallies at any of the top 10 schools listed.

Learning has nothing to do w/ race and the list proves that you can be of a lower SES, different demographics or be a minority and FCPS will help you excel.[/quote]

Then, why are the schools with highest minority populations not on the list? Enough said. [/quote]

Some majority-minority schools in this area with high percentages of FARMS students on the list of top schools in the state include Washington-Lee (#21), Falls Church (#23), Annandale (#30) and Manassas Park (#42).

It may be worth repeating that, under the US News methodology, if the minority and low-income students at the top 10 schools weren't exceeding various benchmarks, those schools wouldn't be on the list.
