[quote=Anonymous]We are in FCPS, in the South Lakes HS pyramid but might be moved to the new school pyramid.

We have been happy with our child's experience. He is nuero-typical but needed speech therapy, which a teacher identified and brought to our attention. We like that there are options, such as language immersion and magnet schools, but found our base schools to be strong. We appreciate the advanced academic program; our child was selected but we deferred because we did not want to leave our base school. I know that draws fire because the selection process is unclear and there are parents who are desperate to get their kid into the program.

We have not had issues with teachers or bullying or disruptive kids in the classroom, but we know other grades at our schools that have. Parents of kids with IEPs have had mixed results, it depends on the severity of the kids' needs and what type of supports that they need. We know people who have kids who are seriously delayed, and they have been happy with the programs provided for their kids.

The people we know who are unhappy are parents who are having issues with their kids IEP and parents who think that the schools should be offering specialized programs that are more inclusive, families whose kids were not placed in AAP, and parents who think that the schools don't do enough for kids who are advanced. I would say 90% of our friends are happy with their kids experiences in the schools. [/quote]
