[quote=Anonymous]We own a home in McLean in the Kent Gardens School District Area. We have been abroad for several years.

Kent Gardens has Immersion French and Advanced Academic French or you can go to another school where they do Advanced Academics in English. Even if my children were savants (which does not seem to be the case thus far), from what I can tell they would need to be at school for a semester and then do some kind of testing. So none of the things that make Kent Gardens a school people rave about is available to us, nor can we bail and go to some smarty pants school down the street.

Which means we would go to general English Kent Gardens. What is this like? What is the class like? What are the students like? I am feeling very nervous about any school that lets parents who aggressively advocate for their kids to get ahead. It seems like it is an economic and aggressive segregation. What is the reality?

Considering Arlington County or Falls Church City which does not remove children who are deemed gifted from their peers. I know this post has major potential to be shredded but I just want the reality.[/quote]
