Serious question: which schools in FCPS, that have ELL populations and FARMS rates similar to south Arlington schools, are performing similar to schools like the N Arlington ones? The disparity exists, but doesn’t it exist in other places as well? Why is there never any talk of this in fairfax? Does AAP bolster some schools in a way that doesn’t happen in FCPS? I mean, there are schools in fairfax like Braddock road, Annandale terrace, lynbrook, Garfield, crest wood, Lee high school, etc. why doesn’t anyone bring those up? These disparities exist everywhere

No one.
No one said there wasn’t a divide.
The school board won’t even say it. “ all
Schools are great”
Just some are demonstrably more great!

With the exception of Glebe, all north Arlington schools at all three levels made the list. Not a one in south Arlington. Yep, all schools are equally good.

Seems like there is an East-West divide as well. Yorktown and W-L are ranked lower than Chantilly, Lake Braddock, Langley, Madison, Marshall, McLean, Oakton, Robinson, TJ, West Springfield and Woodson in Fairfax.

APS offers equal, even better resources as needed to schools in south Arlington. Change needs to happen in the homes to bring those school profiles up. Perhaps that is where you should direct your efforts, because widespread busing won’t be happening.

If you don’t support the Tiltle I program perhaps explain why rather than tossing out childish emojis.

Don’t forget Key. Where’s Henry on this list? Isn’t that supposed to be an award winning school?

Exactly. It’s just as sh#tty as a south Arlington School.

Better move to Tuckahoe!

Way to go! It's really difficult to get passing grades out kids living in million dollar houses. They'll only be the 5th generation in their family to go to college, you know.

Wasn't it obvious enough based on the housing values?
