[quote=Anonymous][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]

Because the #1 indicator of school success of household income NOT Race!
#2 is ability of the teachers.[/quote]

But, isn't race (setting Asians aside) strongly correlated with test scores?  You can use whatever short cut you want to figure out which schools have too many "bad eggs" and, thus, are not suitable schools for little Jimmy. I don't really know what the difference is.  Seems to me saying that it's all about income is just a good way to sound politically correct. [/quote]
