[quote=Anonymous]I do not think the funding always comes from the PTA.  My oldest goes to Crossfield ES and the AART is there 2 days a week.  My middle son is in K at Dogwood, and the AART is there full time.  In Dogwood's case, I am sure the principal had to be creative to find the funding, though I think some of it comes from the fact that it is a Young Scholars school.  My son in K is already getting pull outs.  My older son (now in LLIV at Crossfield) never had pull outs, but the AART there is stretched thin being there 2 days a week.

Content wise, we have been somewhat pleased with the curriculum in our son's LLIV class, in particular the Language Arts curriculum, as well as accelerated math.  Science, I have barely seen.  Social Studies seems typical.  We chose to leave ds1 there to say with a familiar school as he would have been sent to a different center than his classmates.  One drawback is that when there are social issues, that perhaps might not work out, those same children will be together now until 6th grade.  At a center, there would be more classes of each grade.   With regard to the peer group (academically) we have been pleased.  That said, I am not sure what % is LLIV eligible this year, it might be pretty high.[/quote]
