[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with that area of falls church is there are low income apartments that line route 50 with tons and tons of disadvantage children who can't are ESOL. I also didn't like the fact that many of the cape cods were near these apartment complexes.[/quote]

You do know that you sound barely literate, right?  Go fly your hate flag somewhere else.  [/quote]

Pp probably started saying "who can't speak English" and switched to "who are ESOL" and didn't edit properly.  No need to be condescending.  Also, why is stating that there are tons of ESOL kids waving a "hate flag"?  It's a fact and it does impact the school.  I live near Stuart High and have chosen not to move and to send my kids to schools with high ESOL populations.  I am fine with that, but I would be being quite disingenuous if I said it didn't impact the quality of the schools.  [/quote]

Agreed. I went to Falls Church years ago, graduated almost 15 years ago, when it was more in the beginning stages of trending downward, but still was fairly balanced in terms of SES/Student ethnicity.

Now Falls Church seems much less balanced, with nearly half of students of Hispanic origin, and nearly 60% free and reduced lunch.

For what it is worth, OP, when I was a Falls Church student, I never interacted with limited English proficient students. They were in completely different classes. I would see them sometimes, but they all hung out together. I took just about every AP class offered. There are ways to segregate yourself as a student, and surround yourself with the best students, even at the poorest-performing FCPS high schools.
