[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have a great focus if you're behind grade level or ESOL. They have a lot of extra supports for both. They don't have much to offer if you're on grade level or above.

We like the diversity (particularly economic diversity) but I don't think it's been best academically for our kids. [/quote]

Some of this is principal dependent. My child in a Focus school had access to enriched instruction before qualifying for the CES, but only because the individual principal was willing to bend MCPS rules and cohort the kids above grade level kids. [/quote]

I don’t think they have to bend any rules to provide enrichment. Aren’t enrichment opportunities part of the curriculum? I know that my kids received enrichment in second and third grade through pull outs (cohorted) or push ins. School is title I by the way. Also, an active PTA can help get after-school programming at any school. I’ve noticed we have sports, coding, drawing, etc from various vendors, plus some clubs and classes that are free. [/quote]
