[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of my kids have graduated within the last 4 years from HHS. Both are strong academic students and got into their top choice for college (VT).

From our perspective (we’re white) the diversity of the schools is a strength. We want our kids to know people who are different from them and be exposed to different cultures and backgrounds. They aren’t going to live in a bubble — why would we want them to go to school in one ?

The racism inherent in the bias against Herndon schools is ridiculous. [/quote]

My three nephews and a niece all graduated from Herndon High School - one went Carnegie Mellon - magna cum laude in a 5 year masters program - the next summa cum laude at Cornell - London School of Economics and UVa law - next VT engineering- and the last magna cum laude in UVA engineering. Other than mentioning that the group of high achieving students was smaller than at other schools, they did perfectly fine at Herndon. Most DCUM helicopter parents would want these results. You have to own your course of study no matter where you go in FCPS. [/quote]
