[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Yes, I did call the school and asked the general questions, but I wanted honest answers from parents who have actual experience with the school.  We are moving from another part of Fairfax County where my child attended what is considered a "wonderful" school that received a 9 on Great Schools and the Governor's Excellence award, etc.

While I felt that the staff, teachers, and principal were all very nice and friendly and the PTA was very active, I also found the educational challenge sorely lacking.  Dc didn't learn anything new in first grade and in fact I feel he actually fell behind because he forgot a lot of things he knew going in.  They didn't even get into teaching addition beyond single digits.

And I was told before enrolling him there that they definitely differentiated the kids for math and reading but I didn't see it in practice. I was also told the avg class size was around 23 kids.  There were 28 kids in dc's class. This is why I wanted to ask on this board for what your child's actual experience has been like.

Thanks 20:16 for your helpful response.
