[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused.

OP - what is your point here?  That APSs outperform ACPSs?  No shit.  I don't think anybody has really said any differently here.

I think most everybody agrees that we'd like to see ACPSs do better.

But some people believe that despite lower test scores, their children will do just fine in the ACPSs and they in fact DO do just fine, especially in many of the elementary schools.

I just don't understand why some Arlington residents care this much about ACPSs.  I mean, really - move on already.[/quote]

It's ok that you've accepted your fate. Most people wouldn't consider those elementary school numbers to be acceptable and would be pushing the school board and administration to actually do something rather than make empty happy talk.

It's relevant b/c the question gets asked in this forum all the time about whether someone should buy in Alexandria City. Results in a lot of shouting. These are just new numbers to inform the discussion.[/quote]
