[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wise parents choose to have their DC be big fish in small ponds; lessen the competition for college admissions. Try sending your DC to Lewis or Edison or Annandale and get them tracked for AAP in ES.

[b]The counter to this argument is that surrounding your kids with driven, college-focused peers may serve as a motivator that you might not have at some of the schools where a good portion of the kids do not have the same ambitions. It really comes down to the individual kid.[/b]

But the school board doesn’t want to acknowledge that possibility, because then they might realize that parents chose specific pyramids for a reason, and that the differences in the schools within Fairfax really do matter.[/quote]

The counter to that is that there are good elementary schools in bad pyramids. Send a kid to one of the Ft Hunt elementary schools and they get a good start and then the benefit of a large high school that has a rigorous track with a high achieving cohort as well as a mass of students who are checked out of both school and extra curricular activities  [/quote]
