Cliques abound between parents and students: AAP v. base.
Heartbreaking and sad to see the students forever separate out to AAP in third grade.

So to the parents of neighborhood-assigned students, I’m telling you now to get ready to supplement reading, handwriting, spelling, math facts and writing to name just a few off of the top of my head. Opt out of the SOLs.

The only time my DC got offers of extra help and tutoring before and after school was after he failed the online math SOL. VP called to discuss remediation and a re-take. Declined.

Unfortunately, needing to supplement all basic skills is universal to FCPS, including for kids in AAP.

This hasn't been my experience for my kids. They did fine without supplementation and eldest is doing well at a T20 university and younger ones seem on a similar strong track.

Good God, FCPS is NOT THE SAME as it used to be, particularly in the important foundational years of elementary school. Your college-aged student’s FCPS experience differs greatly from today’s students.

I'm the PP. I have a 4th grader(in AAP) as my youngest right now and a 19 year old as my oldest. I haven't seen big changes except pandemic experiences.
