[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]

I am writing this to express my deep disappointment and disgust with the state of McLean High School. It is truly disheartening to see the downfall of a once great institution, and I am placing the blame squarely on the decisions made by the school board.

The overcrowding at McLean High School is unacceptable. Students are crammed into classrooms like sardines, with no room to move or learn comfortably. The fact that trailers are being used beyond their lifespan is a disgrace. It is disgusting to see students being taught in conditions that are not only uncomfortable, but also potentially unsafe.

Furthermore, the school itself is falling apart. The facilities are outdated, and the maintenance is subpar. The bathrooms are often in disrepair, and the cafeteria is often unsanitary. These conditions are not only unacceptable but also detrimental to the health and well-being of the students.

Perhaps most concerning is the fact that McLean High School is [b]below state level for algebra 1.[/b] This is a major red flag and an indication of the school's downfall. The lack of resources and funding has clearly had a negative impact on the education provided at this school.

It is truly shameful that the school board and FCPS have stolen money away from McLean High School to build shiny new facilities for other schools with more diverse student bodies. This is a clear case of discrimination and neglect towards the students of McLean High School.

I implore the school board and FCPS to take action immediately to rectify these issues. The students of McLean High School deserve better than this. They deserve a safe and comfortable learning environment, with access to the resources and facilities necessary to succeed. It is time for the school board to take responsibility for the downfall of McLean High School and make the necessary changes to ensure that it once again becomes a beacon of excellence.

As parents, we are ashamed of the state of McLean High School, and we have decided to take our children out of the school and enroll them in a private institution. It is a sad day when we must take such drastic measures to ensure our children receive the education they deserve.[/quote]

You don't understand the data.  So many students take algebra 1 in MS in that area that the only people who take the HS algebra state test are the most remedial students.[/quote]

You are correct[/quote]
