[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS does not have the luxury that this school district has.  We have over 37,000 ESOL students and this number are roughly DOUBLED since 2010.

31% of FCPS students are FARMs. That means they are living in poverty.  [/quote]

FARMS eligibility is based on poverty levels but is not equivalent to “living in poverty.”  In part the idea is to keep the families from becoming impoverished by paying for their kids’ meals.

Be that as it may, this is still a wealthy county, and the condition of many of our schools is lamentable compared to those in many other areas of the country with better managed schools.  Personally, I’ve stopped pretending this is still a desirable place to live, even though we’re not free to move at present, and it’s somewhat liberating to admit the emperor has no clothes. [/quote]

What school systems with similar farms rates have spectacular facilities? [/quote]

According to Wiki, Carmel itself is around 18% FARMS, which is lower than FCPS but certainly not just one huge Langley (at 2-3%). [/quote]
