Sadly this is 100% correct.

He then received OG 2nd-5th grade from very caring, intelligent teachers.

My other child did not have dyslexia but was still struggling with reading in 4th grade. He was pulled out in 2nd grade for individual Reading Recovery, which a reading teacher latter told me wasn’t a good program. He was always at the bottom end of grade level. He was pulled into a small OG group for 4th and 5th grade.

Let me guess: Ashlawn or a lottery school.

I would guess ATS.

No. A neighborhood school in N Arlington.

JUST NAME THE SCHOOL! You’re praising them, it’s fine. Parents might need to know if their school is the one that is going to help their kid or if they need to go private. There is zero reason for you to hoard the name of your school .

+100. This PP is so bizarre to keep the name of this supposedly superior school a secret.

In N. Arlington I've only heard Ashlawn, ATS, and Tuckahoe so any good for kids with dyslexia. upthread I listed the schools that do not do good for kids with dyslexia.

That poster is either at a lottery school or is a principal at an embattled N. ARL school. Or a person who doesn't really know what they are talking about.

So name it. It’s absolutely not McKinley.

Not Nottingham.

Also not discovery. They do not offer reading recovery (which by the way, is not proven effective especially for dyslexic students).

That's sad even by APS standards.
