[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience is the opposite. My kids’ public school is supposed to be one of the “worst” in FCPS. It’s consistently ranked at the bottom of the GreatSchools list, but I think it’s excellent. Class sizes are small, the Principal is great, and there isn’t crazy pressure to keep up with the Joneses.

OP here.  This is exactly what I am talking about, I hear this all the time.  For all the ("A,B,C) or bust" posts, you can keep it, really.  If you want specifics, these kids are supposed to getting ready for college, yet can't even get into the appropriate classes - too crowded.  Not to mention, any assistance with college prep (choosing classes and applying to college) is next to zero - again, too crowded. This is just two of many rather significant examples.

[b]My kids went to a Title 1 ES in FCPS.  Their MS/HS is routinely bashed in this forum.  [/b]Yet, they've been fabulous.  Sure, there are a number of kids who do really poorly/struggle or drop out - my 9th grader had an 11th grader in his Algebra class.  But, we've had [b]no problems with getting support from the counselors, no problems getting classes, etc.  [/b][/quote]
