You think only 346 2nd graders each year appeal? In a district as large as FCPS?

Is there any info on how many kids get in per year or anything? To put that decades stat in any useful context? Obviously it is what it is, but one can’t help but be curious.

1,737 second-graders admitted through the appeals process over the last decade, big difference


WOW so only 137 kids a year. That seems small to me! Clearly you don't get in just because you appeal.


sorry 173.7 kids a year. Typo!

I think the "successful appeal" percentage is more like 85%. FCPS doesn't really want to fight with parents on this.
