[quote=Anonymous]We are looking to move from DCPS to NOVA, preferably APS but open to others, for middle school, in part because DCPS won't differentiate/accelerate in anything but math. Our DD is really strong in ELA, would prefer to read over most other activities, and isn't really learning to write here. I'd like to get her somewhere she can be challenged more and isn't having tons of independent reading time while the teachers help the kids who are several grade levels behind. How's the ELA curriculum in APS middle schools and does it differ from school to school? Are they reading full books and are they writing more than a paragraph or two? Will they differentiate and place a strong kid in a different ELA/English class? What about social studies/history? If anyone has a kid like this and has been happy with the ELA experience, please let me know. [/quote]
