[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is still considered one of the best school systems in the country.

I liked the late start for ES because my kids weren't early risers.

OP, this is it. FCPS works fine for a decent chunk of the population. They know it’s a million times better than their own education in Arkansas, Nevada or wherever. The other half dislike it and can probably articulate the 3-5 things that bother them the most.

As a parent of a neurodivergent student, school is not always easy for our DD, but that would be the case in any US school district - so we fill in gaps ourselves, rent textbooks from Amazon, help with writing, make sure she has books to read, and pay for extra services. We know we are lucky and not all families can do that. But even with our experiences, I still think the school district is “good” but not a “good fit” for every family. I learned a long time ago, that we cannot wait for FCPS to be the #1 solution for our family, we adjust as needed. But I still know it’s one of the best in the country and we are happy here versus some place else.[/quote]

FCPS is not, by any defensible and logical measure, one of the best school districts in the country.  It's not even in the top 100.  This is FCPS propaganda.  Marketing.[/quote]
