This doesn’t mean public schools across Virginia are great. It simply means some of the schools are slightly better than others, usually because of income and education level of the parents.
The top five are all NOVA schools. The parents are among the most educated in the country. However, I know from experience that things are not as rosy as projected because of a very large and growing illegal alien population.
The West Point, York and James City Schools are in Republican areas.
This is a laugh, but maybe not. Maybe great Incubators for Snowflakes. Like they have to come from somewhere? The couldn’t have just melted into history from nowhere?
And just take a look a some the the counties and cities. They are fully Sovietized areas of control.
I think Virginia to have good schools anyway.
It would have been nice to see which are run by majority Republican and Democrat School Boards.
It would have also been nice to see where they rank as far as Military recruiting.
Look at the list. The top ten or so are in clear Democratic Counties. Not surprised
Nope. They are counties that have money. Rich people=good schools. Smart kids in, smart kids out. And Loudoun is not controlled by Democrats, as you well know. Our BOS and our School Board are both dominated by Republicans.
Fair enough. But LC is decidedly a very purple shade of red … and getting bluer to be sure.
Well it also needs to state the cost per student and the cost per administration vs teacher also student to teacher ratios.
