[quote=Anonymous]Why look at race? Just look at numbers- and the person who mentioned the rape at Cameron is making a lot of assumptions and obviously doesn't understand the crime of rape and how it occurs everywhere - not just in high poverty areas.

The purpose of presenting scores is to show FCPS isn't better just because its Fairfax - TC, Stuart, West Potomac, Mount Vernon, Hayfield and Edison did not meet AYP last year and the SAT scores are listed above - That being said it doesn't mean your child won't do well - these are all great kids but you definitely have academically needy students - The quality of the teachers and administrators is much more important. If the working environment is hostile and poorly managed, it is less likely to have success in educating not only these students. Assuming the problem is race and money is an obtuse argument - figure out what neighborhoods you are comfortable in and what schools you like - Being an active part of a community is so much more important than being a disconnected, image obsessed snob - That is what I like most about the Alexandria neighborhoods (whether city or Fairfax) it feels like a real community - so I understand the draw. Good luck![/quote]
