[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make your housing decision based on the fact that you should be sending you kids to a parochial or private school.  Neither FCPS or LCPS are on an upward trajectory.  [/quote]

Will any public school district ever be on an upward trajectory ever again? If you judge schools by scores only then public school ratings can only go down in the long run.

Seemingly the requirement for a "good school" is an area that is newly up-and-coming so as to attract a very highly educated workforce very quickly, but this only lasts for a generation or two. Once the area is developed too densely with many retail and food service jobs, kids in poverty from the blue collar parents working those jobs bring down the reputation.

If this is your perspective then the DMV has seen it's golden years. We see this effect in the booming Raleigh Research Triangle.[/quote]

This is an interesting post and aligns with what I've seen with the area where I grew up (it was a burgeoning tech area then and now is much more mature and the schools are more burdened)  and some other areas where family members live.  Thank you for this.

Small college towns might at one time have been insulated from this but many small colleges are really struggling right now and have very uncertain futures.  [/quote]
