[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is so site specific it's impossible to figure out what a particular school might be like down to details. I do think that the FARMS rate affects whether people move to an area  and often this is already predetermined by the housing around the school and the school boundary. The school with a very high FARMS rate needs to be stellar for people to overlook the rate and buy property in that boundary and reduce the rate of FARMS.[/quote]

Correct. It needs to become a magnet school. This has worked well in other places.[/quote]

What needs to become a magnet school? A school for FARMS children? I don't think so.[/quote]

Yes. To maintain property values. Look it up, armchair quarterback.[/quote]

I googled magnet schools for kids in poverty and didn't find anything. Everywhere I read it says schools fail when there is too high a percentage of FARM students. Even magnet schools which might target certain needs of FARM students fail to attract new applicants.
