[quote=Anonymous]ACPS has a very high FARMS rate, nearly 70% at some schools, and thus test scores reflect that. Alexandria is FULL of super wealthy white people (and some wealthy minorities) who like the convenient location and the beautiful neighborhoods, and who can afford to send their kids to private. Thus they have no skin in the game on the success of ACPS kids. Even in my middle class west end neighborhood a lot of parents send their kids to private. We’ve had a middling experience with some great teachers, some mediocre teachers, and fortunately no terrible teachers. We receive special education services which we’ve had to fight for but not like I’ve heard from parents in other districts. I don’t think my son was actually delayed in reading, I think they just don’t know how to teach reading. My son was guessing words left and right. He’s finally above grade level like his testing/intelligence scores suggest he should be, but it was a long frustrating road to get there. ACPS has hugely managed the pandemic but I don’t know that I’d judge a district on 2020/2021. If you’re educated your kids will probably do well. (Disclosure my experience is only elementary so far.)[/quote]
