[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The white mommies at WSHS are happy that Bren Mar is being targeted as the school to move to Lewis, even though that would mean those kids would have to cross both 395/95 and 495. Is that not busing kids out of their communities? Or is that okay because that school is more diverse? [/quote]

Just stop.

Wshs is majority minority, and has one of the largest African American student populations in FCPS.

Your are being racist.[/quote]

When your school has over 2800 kids, it's not hard to have one of the largest AA or White student populations in FCPS.  The AA populations at smaller Edison, Hayfield, Mount Vernon, South County, Westfield, and West Potomac are just as large or larger. [/quote]

Do you understand how percentages work?[/quote]

PP referred to populations, not percentages. Are you illiterate?  [/quote]

Wshs also has one of the largest AA percentages in FCPS....[/quote]

WSHS appears to be #6 with 12.8% AA, although #7 and #8 (Annandale and South Lakes) are also at 12%. The FCPS average is around 10% so it's not like WSHS is statistically special in that regard. The top schools actually have meaningfully large numbers like Hayfield with 26% AA and South County and Mt Vernon at 21%. Now that's talking double the average of AA students.[/quote]
