[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, there's no perfect elementary school within FCPS and FCPS is very large.  Usually the best option is to go for a smaller school because it's more manageable in many ways.  The teaching is hit or miss anywhere, whether you're in a Center, LLIV or regular school.  Sometimes you get good teachers; mostly, the teacher quality at FCPS is meh (at best) because the general philosophy to education at FCPS is meh (at best).  The District is too large to really focus on education quality.  Teacher development is weak, though they schedule many days within the school year for it.  It starts to get better in certain middle schools.  If you're going to focus on anything, try for a smaller-ish elementary school pegged to a good middle/high school pyramid.  That's where you'll get the most benefit.

Lastly, FCPS's AAP LIV program is nothing to write home about.  You'll do a better job with your child if you try and spend 1/2 hour with them during the day on education supplementation--free or paid.  It's a load of bs sold by the District.  Whether they get rid of it or keep it really does not matter.  Outside of "PBL" the kids learn very little.[/quote]
