[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

McLean also just came in second in the Class 6 Scholastic Bowl state championship behind TJ, after having won a regional competition that included Langley, Madison, Marshall, Oakton, Yorktown, W-L, and South Lakes, among other schools (TJ was in a different region).  [/quote]

Shameful!  They're neglected and it shows in these scores!  McLean HS is a shadow of its former self. Time for everyone to pull their kids and send them to Potomac. Or anywhere as long as its not McLean HS![/quote]

Despite being neglected by FCPS the parents of McLean HS have shown remarkable resilience and dedication to self-fund their children's education and achieve excellence.

Parents and students at McLean High School have taken matters into their own hands and have gone above and beyond to provide their children with the resources and opportunities necessary to succeed. They have organized fundraising events, donated funds for technology and equipment, and even hired tutors and mentors to ensure their children receive the best education possible.

It is a shame that FCPS has neglected McLean High School, and has failed to provide the necessary funding and resources to enable students to thrive. McLean High School is in dire need of improvements to its facilities, resources, and academic performance, yet it has been overlooked and forgotten.

It is a testament to the strength and resilience of the McLean community that they have been able to achieve so much despite the lack of support from FCPS. However, it is time for FCPS to step up and provide the necessary funding and resources to enable McLean High School to reach its full potential.[/quote]

Yeah no.  A high school is not the building.  All of your frequent rants are nuts. And you've pretty much convinced me, an anonymous rando, that McLean HS shouldn't be renovated.[/quote]

Seems like a nice set-up:  first, post some way over-the-top rhetoric that McLean has been uniquely neglected and is now on the verge of total and complete collapse; and then, second, follow up by saying it comes across as so clueless that McLean should get nothing.

I mean, well played, maybe, but others will still rightfully advocate for FCPS to build an addition to the school and address the most pressing facilities needs.  I'm sure you'd do likewise if it were your school.  [/quote]
