[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're a troll if you can't see why schools with a large percentage of students living in poverty would need more funding than schools with high SES. [/quote]

You are missing the point, Central high has 80% poverty and has higher test scores than mclean and langley. [/quote]

They must have a stronger principal, teachers and parents all working togther.  [/quote]

NO, they offer general education classes to a small group of students who speak English. They should be able to pass the SOL.

They don't offer AP/IB classes. They don't have students scoring pass advanced on the SOL, so they are basically doing the bare minimum. They don't have the issues that come with teaching kids who are not fluent in English. I would guess that they don't have an issue of kids coming from generational poverty with families who have a history of dropping out of school.

So they are doing the bare minimum to a population of students who have parents not worried about the lack of advanced classes or better then just good enough results.

No one wants that in FCPS. [/quote]
