[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that the view that NoVa public schools are spectacular developed many years ago, when (1) other VA publics were basically lousy, and (2) many transplants into the DC area were from rural jurisdictions and weren't used to having comprehensive college-prep public high schools. Neither of those two features is present today. So today we have schools in Fairfax that are quite mixed in terms of quality; schools that are good but uneven in Arlington; and [b]schools that are comprehensively terrible and somehow getting even worse in Alexandria. [/b] [/quote] Preach. It is like watching a train wreck in slo-mo. I do think that FCPS is doing a better job recently. They were resting on their laurels for a while and they allowed a tremendous amount of deferred maintenance to pile up but it seems like there is an improvement underway.[/quote]
