[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just possible that Arlington is better managed? Seems to me that with the advent of Dale and his posse of Gibson, Smith and Strauss that things went downhill real fast.[/quote] According the Washington Area Boards of Education (WABE) for FY 2013 Arlingon per pupil spending was $18,675 and Fairfax's was $13,564. I think if Fairfax spent as much as Arlington, FCPS class sizes would be much smaller. [/quote] Not surprising that Fairfax has economies of scale beyond those enjoyed by Arlington. If I were in Arlington, I'd be asking why it doesn't have test scores or AAP programs equal to Fairfax. [/quote] I think the increased student:teacher ratio and the lower teacher salaries in FCPS account for the bulk of the gap. [/quote]
