[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I believe this strongly about APS. I think it has strong schools in North Arlington, but if you compare South Arlington and Alexandria and they're about the same - high achieving kids in certain groups at South APS schools, but the majority are lower achieving kids. APS has a similar achievement gap as Alexandria, but since it is such a big district, it gets to segregate its kids because higher SES kids are all generally concentrated in the northern part of the district. [/quote] Except its not deliberately segregating its schools - its just that historic housing and transportation patterns have resulted in that. And there is certainly segregation among schools to some extent in ACPS, and in FCPS. Just somewhat less, and the lower performing schools are more geographically scattered. [/quote]
