[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mosby Woods/Luther Jackson/Oakton high poster here. I gave you OUR experience. Has very little to do with anything other than the admin and the teachers. Try to spin it as you may, but we LOVED all 3 schools, and LJ was our kids' favorite! Again, this is OUR experience. Nothing to do with funding or center schools.[/quote]

The point is it means very little to general ed parents who don't have the option of a center school if their school is declining while these schools are improving. The entire pyramid should be strong.[/quote]

I draw a different inference, which is that elementary school parents tend to be critical and worried that their kids aren't getting enough attention, and that parents gain perspective and become more positive as their kids get older and their parents see them thriving (and doing considerably better than their peers elsewhere in the region, state and country). [/quote]

I don't know. I see a lot of parents pulling their kids for high school. However FCPS has always prided itself on its high schools and spend less money on their elementary schools, so that probably raises their reputation. FCPS has a history of having weak elementary schools.[/quote]

In retrospect, I wish I had placed my kids in private for elementary and middle school, and then returned to FCPS for high school.  [/quote]
