[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading this thread I realize how segregated fcps are. FCPS should do a better job of integrating schools with different incomes and then hopefully more kids get a better education. 
Practically speaking there would be too much protest to ever make that happen [/quote]

The county can make a huge, immediate impact on this by enforcing housing codes in Bailey's Crossroads.  No need to bus kids away from their  neighborhoods to achieve balance.  As other pps have noted, the housing codes in Culmore are totally not enforced.  There are sometimes three families living in one bedroom apartments.  That results in overcrowding of the schools, and  significantly affects the SES balance of the schools, resulting  in adverse results on test scores and actual learning.   I guarantee you, if Fairfax County didn't allow violations of these codes to go on in such a rampant fashion, the schools in the eastern part of the county would be in way better shape.  This is the truth, but this will never happen.[/quote]
