[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS is getting more intensified classes this year or next, but they are opt-in and not test-in, although I think that it will be similar to math where a recommendation is made.

My child is going into 6th, so no experience yet.  If you think you’ll go private for HS, I’d just stay at Langley and supplement where you see holes.  [/quote]

No we aren’t committed to private for HS, will depend on MS experience.

Also curious about middle school sports, seems like many are cut sports? What if a kid just wants to try something like tennis?[/quote]

Middle school Track in the spring is no cut. Ultimate Frisbee is a new no cut sport for APS but I’m not sure how that figures into the middle schools. [/quote]

Looking for a little different sport that track or frisbee? Is that really it?[/quote]
About half of the sports offered are no cut: swim/dive, track, there’s also one in the fall but I don’t remember what it is.  I think other than soccer and basketball, most kids make the team unless they are completely new to the sport.  Eighth graders can do the sports offered at their local highschool (crew, cross country, etc).  [/quote]
