[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please not charter schools. Please. For every one that succeeds, 70 steal money and run a rotten to mediocre program. Of course be vigilant about getting students of color advance tracked. It does take vigilance. Students of color are frequently underestimated and overlooked. ACPS need to support more students to reach higher levels of success. For those students currently succeeding, they are getting in to good colleges. Certainly better than many FFX HSs with wide-ranging demographics. The students going to selective colleges will succeed there and have been prepared to do that. For those who are complaining the placement is bad, be specific about your complaints. No one going to P one year is meaningless. Are you saying there are [b]dozens of straight A students with great ECs and 1500 SATs[/b] who didn’t get into selective schools? Are you saying there are B students with 1300 SATs who didn’t understand they could get tuition scholarships from VA schools? Are you saying kids who are first in their family to go to college and are working and going to NVCC are losers? Are you saying kids -particularly students of color- who could succeed Had they been given more opportunities earlier in their school careers should be better positioned for college by now?[/quote]

Not this bad, but close.  The college results for even the top 10% of the class were simply miserable - the worst in over a decade.  Many, many students and families have seen friends in other, nearby, NoVa districts do much better with materially lower objective numbers.  There's no defending this year's college placement record.  It was simply lousy.
