[quote=Anonymous]Nothing in ES is cool or interesting. Honestly, the science and social studies is pretty standard. My kids school does an annual project with hatching and raising ducklings but that occurs in all of the 6th grade classes.

If disruption is a problem for him you might want to wait until 7th grade to move. He is going to move for 6th grade, changing schools, and then again in 7th grade. One move might work better for him.  Most of the 6th graders are in an ES. I don't think the 6th graders who attend secondary school have honors classes. There is AAP and that is it for ES. I think that FCPS accepts the placements from neighboring school systems, but you would need to call the school you are looking at moving to and ask there.

Honors classes start in MS. Some people will swear to you that the honors classes are the same as the AAP classes in MS, others will tell you that they are totally different. I am sure that it depends on the individual school. I would imagine that honors classes at schools like Carson, Longfellow, Rocky Run, and Cooper are are pretty similar to the AAP classes. They are all more UMC/MC MS so the kids tend to be on the same footing.
