[quote=Anonymous]I have a student at Luther Jackson, in the AAP center.  We are very pleased with the school and the staff.  The teachers know my child, the staff are friendly, and I've gotten good responses when I have had (minor) issues that need attention.  The academics are good, the quality of instruction high, and the facilities comparable to other FCPS schools of that age.

There is a new artificial turf field at the school that had a grand opening a few weeks ago.  I am not a sports person so I don't know much about it, but the school seemed very happy about it.

It is true that some parents don't send their kids to Luther Jackson, but based on my conversations with some of those parents, their decision seems to be based more on fear than actual information.  We are very happy with the school and have not seen any evidence of the things Vienna parents were afraid of (other than higher melanin content and a greater number of ESL parents, which might well have been what they were afraid of.  I'm saying this because it's an anonymous forum.)

I also think that the more intensely gifted kids were among the group who chose to go to LJMS, and that may actually be a good thing for the school.[/quote]
