[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On reflection, I think these new “top 10” lists are intended to prime families for boundary changes (“see the great things about your new school”). Don’t want the thread to get deleted as redundant of the longer thread but does seem like the most likely impetus. [/quote]

Yep, our principal told us all schools were all being asked to make these lists for that reason.[/quote]

I have trouble believing that. FCPS seems to put out a positive press push whenever there's negative press. They've gotten a ton of negative press lately. Time to make the principals do more work to get them good news!

I don't know why they think it works or that anyone cares. It started during the pandemic-related closures, around early 2022.[/quote]

I don’t think the “top 10” lists started to be added to the top of schools’ individual web pages until a few weeks ago.  It seems very coordinated, as if there was a definite push from Gatehouse. [/quote]

Sure, there was a push from Gatehouse. I just think it was about generating positive press in response to the negative press about Hayfield and the boundaries. It isn't designed to convince people that all FCPS high schools are equally amazing or anything. They just want good press release fodder to try and get WTOP to put out some good stories. They keep thinking they can paper over the extistence of discontent in the district by asking the principals to come up with things like this.[/quote]

Oddly enough, Hayfield hasn't posted. I guess listing their athletic accomplishment wouldn't look great [/quote]
