[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS > MCPS > APS. FCPS and MCPS enjoy economies of scale, but FCPS has a larger base of UMC families than MCPS and TJ, and FCPS students have access to a wider number of strong state universities. And FCPS has a significantly higher percentage of hard-working Asian kids than APS, which tends to raise the bar generally. It’s understood in Virginia that the high schools in APS are weaker than the middle schools in APS, which in turn are weaker than the elementary schools in APS. In other words, the advantages of a relatively affluent population diminish over time in APS because the school system is just not that rigorous.[/quote] MCPS hands down. Academic competitions results show that. TJ is great on paper and unfortunately is the only school worth mentioning in FCPS[/quote] I know you think people will believe you if you repeat this line enough times, but no. FCPS has TJ, multiple neighborhood schools that are as good as the best in MCPS, far fewer below-average schools, and access to better state universities. [/quote] Seriously, FCPS schools are good on papers. [/quote]
