The point is that FCPS is not world class, it's average, despite what FCPS would have everyone believe. For 3 years they made the AYP standard of NCLB, and they trumpeted that as if they had won a Nobel prize. Then, in 2012, FCPS did not meet the standard, and suddenly they said 'well, we don't think those standards measure us very well.'
FCPS has been dining out on the spawn of high income, high achieving parents for years. Give them anyone else to educate and they do not better than they rest of the world.
