[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]just like alexandria, the rich families in Mt. Vernon go private for High School.  which completely skews the demographics.  white flight is still alive and well in the 21st century.[/quote]

There isn't an alternative [/quote]

White/middle class flight is not staying in one area, and sending your child to private school. I don't know what that is called. [/quote]

I couldn't come up with a better term - it's the only one available.

But the alternative would be to actually utilize your neighborhood public high school.  But as more and more families go private, it just makes the situation worse.

Look, I get that people are doing what they think is best for their kids.  I just think that skewing the demos then just dooms that HS to mediocrity in perpetuity.  The situation will never improve if the neighborhood families don't send their own kids...unless fcps wants to do some crazy boundary/social engineering stuff.[/quote]
