[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you were destroyed in the last thread where you brought this up, the relative size of the two school systems is pertinent.

FCPS has 180,000 students. APS has less than 20,000.

Excluding TJ (a magnet school that pulls from all over, including Arlington) that's 289 for the 8 FCPS schools you listed compared to 57 for the two APS schools on the list.

That's one NMSF for every 623 FCPs students and one for every 350 APS student.

So, just stop. You've embarrassed yourself. Try to limit yourself to one ass-kicking a week, mkay? Thanks.

80% of TJ comes from Fairfax so there is no legitimate reason to exclude it.  And, even if you did, the top neighborhood high schools in FCPS consistently outperform the Arlington schools, whether it's average SATs, the number of NMSFs, or US News ratings.

Arlington can't even punch, much less punch at its weight. [/quote]

It's awful, isn't it? I guess we'll go back to debating our massive budget shortfall and whether we should scale back our AAP program or start charging students to play sports, and griping about having 30 kids in a kindergarten class.

Oh wait, that's you.[/quote]
