[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering how [b]segregated [/b]Arlington county schools are, these rankings are useless.  I bet if they were to divide north and south, north would be in the top 10 and south would not even make the cut.  These rankings are based on averaging. [/quote]

do you even understand what segregation means?  If we were to use your "logic" what would be the outcome of FFX rankings when you separate the northen and southern parts of the county? Or if you separate Bethesda, CC and Potomac from the rest of the northern part of the MoCo?[/quote]

Arlington schools are segregated. There are five schools that are almost all minority and five or six that are almost all white. The rest of the schools are more mixed (including the choice schools), but there is significant concentration among the wealthiest and also the poorest neighborhoods. [/quote]

You sound like the Arlington poster a while back who wanted to start busing North Arlington kids to South Arlington schools.

If you're from Fairfax, there's a wide range of demographics at schools in FCPS, although the larger Asian population in Fairfax keeps any schools from being as heavily white as Jamestown, Nottingham, Taylor and Tuckahoe.  It certainly doesn't prevent high levels of poverty at some schools.   [/quote]
