[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why we think Fairfax County Public Schools are "failing."

Just last week, we honored 191 FCPS students for being named National Merit Semi-Finalists.  For those looking at the stats, there were approx 16,000 students in that category nationwide which is an average of 320 per state.  In Virginia there were 397 honorees.

A full HALF of the VA honorees were from a single county - FCPS.  The next largest school district in the state, Prince William County, had 6 honorees.

[b]It seems like FCPS is still producing a high level of excellence in comparison to other districts in the state and country.[/b]

We are ALSO working hard to educate students whose 1st language is not English, who have special needs and who struggle academically.

We can accomplish both things simultaneously without being labelled as "failing" - it's not an either or situation.[/quote]

As a county yes, but there are still failing schools within the county. Langley or Chantilly excelling doesn't make Lewis or Justice good schools [/quote]
