[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS has been increasing teacher salaries and reducing class sizes in recent years.

The facilities management is bad, but this is mostly the School Board’s fault.  At least FCPS has been renovating schools and adding capacity throughout the system, not overspending on shiny new buildings while failing to plan for adequate seats (as in Arlington - their Superintendent is bailing now, before the shit really hits the fan).

[b]Eight of the top 10 high schools in VA are in FCPS. [/b]And about 1/2 are in the top 25. No other system in the area has nearly as many strong pyramids. [/quote]

That is only based off test scores of kids whose parents make sure they score well and enrich on the sidelines.  Very little to do with the school system now.  FCSP is going downhill fast.[/quote]

It’s based on test scores and AP/IB participation and performance (both in absolute terms and relative to other students in the state), as well as graduation rates.  It has plenty to do with the parents, the students, and the school system.

This might be tough for you to understand, but the school system could be 'ok' right now and still in decline.  [/quote]

Or maybe it's parents with younger kids who whine the most and then chill out when they see their kids thriving in high school and college. [/quote]
