[quote=Anonymous]My kid attended a bottom tier fcps school. The high achieving students got into good universities, probably the same ones they would have gotten into had they gone to Langley or Mclean. Maybe there would be more top 10 acceptances if there were more legacy applicants. Cannot complain. The kids that put in the work, did well. The majority of students at this school are first-gen/low income. A good number of those students will go to George Mason or NOVA. Some may say those are not great options, however, if your parents did not graduate from high school, then I would say fcps did not let them down. “Best outcome” can be measured in many ways. I believe each student’s starting point should be taken into account as well. Is the better school the one that sends sons and daughters of Ivy grads to Ivy schools? Or is the better school the one that sends sons and daughters of illiterate parents to George Mason? Just my two cents. [/quote]
