[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lewis serves central Springfield, which is majority Latino and has relatively lower incomes compared to surrounding areas. The school has higher ESL and FARMS numbers and lower test scores compared to other high schools.

Lewis also serves some middle and upper middle income neighborhoods on the fringes of central Springfield and to the south of it. These  are the areas from which most of the chatter about Lewis originate — people who are upset that their neighborhoods aren’t zoned to other high schools with lower ESL and FARMS numbers and higher so-called prestige, or people who are upset that FCPS doesn’t rezone more higher income neighborhoods into Lewis so they can feel better about themselves.

Let’s be real here and stop screwing around. People with economic means don’t want their kids to go to Lewis and most people who send their kids to Lewis aren’t on DCUM.[/quote]

Got it. Only people who live in certain areas should get a good education.[/quote]

This is the reality of public education. You must have been born yesterday.[/quote]
