[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Herndon is nowhere remotely close to losing accreditation.  Those are just falsehoods spread by Great Falls residents who don’t want district boundaries changed.[/quote]

Source?  Otherwise you’re just speculating to serve your own agenda.[/quote]
Different poster.  The idea that Herndon HS is failing is ludicrous.  Academically, it is a middle of the road FCPS high school that outperforms roughly half of FCPS high schools in published metrics.  The majority of its graduates go to college and it sends a sizable number of students to top tier Virginia colleges and a fair number to Ivy League schools.  With greater parental involvement and/or a smaller percentage of ESL students dragging down overall test scores, it would be among the top tier of FCPS high schools.

Apples and oranges.  We’re talking about accreditation, not your definition of whether a school is failing.[/quote]

DP here and regardless, I don’t think Herndon is in a bad enough spot to risk losing accreditation. But depending on the new rules and standards, Lewis might be. There was a time 10-15 years ago when FCPS thought it was headed in that direction, but the state changed their accreditation standards and then it was ok, so FCPS breathed a sigh of relief and washed their hands of the whole thing. And if Lewis is seriously at risk, Mount Vernon probably is as well. [/quote]
