[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s get back to the issue at hand: what can be done at Herndon to make it better for the teachers and students?[/quote]

I think Herndon may have the same problem as Madison: many parents don't know what's going on. Met a Herndon parent yesterday. She knew nothing about the grading system other than it was rolling grade book. They've moved a couple of times within FCPS and had a different grading system each time.[/quote]

Consider the number of emancipated students at Herndon HS. I don’t know if there are readily available statistics  but 
every HS school will have students who are legally emancipated. Factor in language barriers; the 18 year old HS sophomore who can’t (or won’t) speak English, the newly arrived or transferred student who works nearly FT after school, the chronically absent students…all will likely drop out or leave for various reasons. If they haven’t figured out the basic routine of school by 9th grade for whatever reason, these students aren’t going graduate. We hide and disguise these stats.
