[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]FCPS is one of the better districts in the STATE but it's been a while (pre mid 90's) since it's been one of the best in the country. [/quote]

Then how do you account for TJ being the number 1 school in the country, as well as a number of other FCPS schools (Langley, McLean, Madison, Woodson, Oakton, etc) consistently ranking in the top 100 or 200 in the nation? This doesn't happen by accident.[/quote]

Studies after studies show that HHI is the #1 predictor of school success - sorry, teachers or a "great school district" can't take all or even most the credit for the high ranking of the schools you bragged about as so many low SES schools are struggling.

Show me high FARMs schools in FCPS that rate as high as Langley, McLean, Madison etc and THAT will be the indicator of a great district and great teachers.

If schools such as West Potomac,  Stuart, Falls Church, Edison, Annandale, South Lakes, Herndon, ranked just as high FCPS would indeed be great - but they are not.

Sorry but FCPS is average.   [/quote]

+1 For the amount of $$$$$$$$ in this area, there are lots of low performing schools - especially at the elementary level.[/quote]
