[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It would be hard for a kid to be at McLean now and be surrounded by people "just like them." The school is about 5% AA, over 10% Hispanic, and over 20% Asian; the "white" students include substantial numbers of students from the Middle East and Europe; and roughly 10% of the kids get FARMS. I know you are trying to disabuse people of false assumptions about FCHS, but you don't need to stereotype McLean to get there. [/quote] Well said!!![/quote FCHS pp, as I said I wasn't just talking about ethnicity but also socio-economically. The area that feeds into FCHS has both houses above 750k as well as government subsidized housing. I realize this isn't unique to ffx county schools but I see over and over again on this site the schools that greater diversity disparaged as being bad schools. I am sorry, but it has made me a little defensive. [/quote]
