[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For FCPS to be as progressive and inclusive as it claims to be, they need to consider the needs of all students, not just the high SES college-bound students with vocal parents who argue about AP vs IB, what school has the highest ranking, or SAT scores. Many, many families don’t care about such things, but about how kids will be able to support themselves when they reach adulthood. Not all students come from families that value or are willing to pay for college. Many are on their own when they turn 18. What about those students?[/quote]

This is exactly why turning Lewis into a completely opt-in VoTech High School is the way to go. The students who currently attend Lewis and who want a college-prep curriculum could be absorbed by West Springfield, Edison, Hayfield, or South County depending on where they live. They would get access to more robust academic offerings, and students from other high schools could apply to attend Lewis for its VoTech magnet focus. [/quote]
