[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stats posted for WestPo are very interesting. It has a very high FARMS rate but also a lot of expensive homes. I'm pretty sure most of those high income families do private which skews the student body even more. We chose West Springfield over West Potomac and have been very, very happy. [/quote] WestPo is the definitive case study in FCPS on merging a low FARMS school (Fort Hunt) and a high FARMS school (Groveton), which took place in the mid-80s. You end up with a merged school that, over time, looks more like the high FARMS school than the low FARMS school because a significant number of the higher-income families go private or move.
