[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone moved to FCPS from ACPS past elementary school? Are the differences in academics really that big?I’d love to hear from anyone with direct experience in both school districts for later grades. We are zoned for GW middle school, and I’ve heard that while a good education can be had there, FCPS is better. Is it really, or are people basing this on overall school test scores (which includes lots of kids who have less support at home, are english learners, dealing with poverty, etc. in ACPS)? I have an academically inclined kiddo (mostly math/science, but he is in AAS for all subjects) with mild anxiety, and I’m trying to figure out what’s best for him. He has a good friend group here, and is excited that GW has a robotics club, but we have been underwhelmed by the local elementary school academics and the disfunction of the ACPS administration in general, and there are definitely holes in his knowledge due to the school.[/quote]
