Why is it that fcps offers IB program in Mount Vernon/Lewis/Justice/..., but not in McClean/Langley/Oakton/...?[/quote]

You chose not to include Marshall and Robinson.  Those are not low SES schools.[/quote]

They're all the same. It's a standard program. I know that's not what your real estate agent told you but it's true.[/quote]

Our prior real estate agent kept encouraging us to move out of our Title 1 pyramid because she said the schools were bad. She wanted us to move to the Langley pyramid. We got a new real estate agent. Not that we have anything against Langley but we disagreed strongly that our schools were bad and were very happy with how are kids were doing and we love our neighborhood. Our kids are in college and high school now and we have no regrets. [/quote]I call shenanigans.  The people who can afford Langley but instead choose Title 1 number around zero.  [/quote]

Not true, but I can imagine some might think this. Looking at a school's bulk average isn't a real measure of the quality or opportunity that is present. We weren't at a Title 1 but not exactly a high-income area either and our kids went through all the elite programs from AAP LIV through TJ. [/quote]

Exactly.  Not Langley.

We're at a median pyramid and it's fine.  But we wouldn't pick Title I over where we are and no one with a Langley budget would pick a house in a Title I area and send their DC to the local school.[/quote]
