Is that anything like having the oldest, smallest Mercedes at the posh country club, or the smallest mansion in Beverly Hills?

Seriously, while there are a few Fairfax schools whose overall performance lags behind other Fairfax County schools, it is a stretch to say they "are not good." I've worked with inner city Chicago schools; I know what bad schools look like. Here's an analogy for you:

Fairfax County schools are Hiltons. Chicago Public Schools are Super 8s. The worst Hilton is still nicer than the best Super 8.
