[quote=Anonymous]DS is in a language immersion program at FCPS. His class size started at 31 kids in first grade but he is down to 23 kids in his class. The Gen Ed classes at our school are around 18 kids right now. LI will continue to drop, kids move and cannot be added without being fluent in the target language. The Gen Ed classes will be around 22 students, which is a good size. He does strings as well as a music class. Art is an hour once a week, PE is 3 times a week. We are happy with the school, the balance, and the distance.

I keep an eye on what is happening with private schools so that if we are unhappy with the school DS is attending we have an idea about where to look and I am not opposed to Catholic Schools. I was raised Catholic and know that not all Catholic schools are conservative Catholic. I am not sold on private schools ability to provide the level of math that my kid needs or more advanced Science classes. Most private schools are smaller so there are fewer kids to take different classes, which limits the class offerings in MS and HS. I know that they are good for the standard classes but DS is in Advanced Math and is going to need more then the standard classes. I suspect that it will be the same for Science and other classes.
