[quote=Anonymous]As an ACPS parent, I try to be supportive, but I'm sick of the school leaders trying to blow smoke up the community's arse.

The press releases claims 331 students from TC Williams are college bound, then offers a list that purports to show where kids will be going to college.   Add up all those numbers and it would total +770 kids...

Either the 331 number is wrong, or this list shows college acceptances, not college attendance.  Which would mean that a small number of impressive kids are being counted multiple times for every place where they were accepted.

VDOE's data from Fall showed a senior class of 753 at TC Williams.  If only 331 of those seniors are going on to pursue any post-HS education at either a 2 or 4 year college, then TC Williams deserves every bit of its poor reputation.   What about the other 422 seniors?  Dropouts?  Flipping burgers next year?

I am ashamed at the poor results my school district achieves, despite the ridiculously high levels of spending.  Yet all our leadership seems to care about is tearing down school buildings to build shiny brand new ones, without addressing the continuing failures to actually educate kids.
