Wish I could say I've figured this out. I want my kids' exposed to economic and cultural diversity, and maybe even a little (monitored) hardship (like being a linguistic minority) but Goddamn if I want them to receive anything but the best education. [/quote]

This. This. And more this.  And I imagine most of the &quot;liberal elite&quot; feel this way. But what's the alternative? To be fine raising your kids in a rich white bubble?  Or to be fine with your kids getting a bad education?  Like PP, I want to a majority-minority high school with a &gt; 50% FARMS rate.  And I do want better educational and extra curricular opportunities for my kids.  So, I get that this attitude I'd off putting. But, not sure what the alternative is. [/quote]

But is it truly accurate to say the lower-rated GS schools in FCPS provide a bad education?  I'm not convinced.  Not all high-FARMS, majority-minority schools are created equal.  [/quote]

This is how I feel. Maybe there is an order of performance among the " bad" schools, but I have to believe they have plenty to offer.
This is florida - where schools largely suck, or Compton. 
These scores are driving people away from these schools and doing so much harm. Yes, we need info, but this system is terrible for our area and the kids.[/quote]
