Not so; under NCLB, transfer option only applies to Title I schools with high percentages of lower-income kids that don't make AYP for two years in a row.
Schools in FCPS have to meet almost 30 benchmarks to make AYP. So if the pass rate on a Mathematics SOL for Hispanics at some middle school is lousy, and everyone else does great, the school doesn't make AYP. But if it's in a generally affluent school district, there won't be a transfer option.
