[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are deeply disappointed with McLean high, even though it was a highly rated school it appears to have fallen over the last few years and it's updated score truly does reflect that it is no longer the 10/10 school it once was. I attribute it to unsupportive school board who are busy taking funding from McLean and putting it towards struggling schools. McLean is a shell of what it once was and the disgusting building and trailers from overcrowding only being to tell the story of it's decline. Sad.[/quote]

The amount of misunderstanding you're displaying here is astounding. By all measures the White, Asian, and affluent students at McLean are still performing at the top of the district. The updated GS score is absolutely meaningless. West Springfield HS has a 9/10 but the SAT and AP scores out of there are literally below the county average. McLean's AP scores are leading the county besides TJ, and SAT scores fall just short of Langley (also ignoring TJ).[/quote]

There is some question as to whether PP actually has kids at McLean, although Jeff continues to allow them to post.

Most of the people at McLean are very happy with the education that their kids are getting, despite the overcrowding and less than stellar physical plant.  Of course, if we acknowledge this, someone else will turn that against us and say there's no reason to pay any attention to the building conditions as long as most parents are happy with the academics, teachers, extra-curriculars, etc. [/quote]
