[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A school can be better than one in inner-city Chicago and still far below the expectations or aspirations of many in this area.

Anyway, enough with the excuses. You obviously have a horse in this race. Move to the Lee district from your “good” district and let us know how it goes.

Different poster. I have students at Lee. This year Lee graduates are attending UVA, William & Mary, VCU, James Madison, Virginia Tech, George Mason, Drexel, Texas A&M, UNC-Chapel Hill, BYU, Barnard, the University of Richmond, Loyola-Chicago, and the University of Chicago (as examples). I think things are going quite well for these students.

This is a really weak list for NOVA. And especially weak for  a school that should have quite a few URM/ first gen applicants.[/quote]

These are just examples. Remember that finances are tough for many of these students and short of full-ride scholarships, attending college out of the local area or state will be tough.

The point is that Lee, and other schools like it in Fairfax, are not horrible places where students are doomed - that is the attitude of many of the posters on this board and it is a sad statement about Northern Virginia.[/quote]
