[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to McLean for their schools. My child is doing well, in AAP, has lots of friends and thriving in elementary. Looking at middle and high school, I worry about large class sizes and lack of individual support.

Has anyone on here left FCPS for Potomac or other privates?

I would love to send my daughter to Madeira but they only have high school. [/quote]

People leave FCPS if it is not working for them for a reason (academic and/or social-emotional reasons).

I don't know anyone who has left FCPS in a situation like yours. What I have seen in FCPS exit stories are:

- Kid needing social/emotional support and individual attention. Not doing well overall due to lack of those.
- Kid not getting into AAP, but was close to getting in (missed being accepted by a small margin)
- Kid in AAP but the family is disappointed with AAP program in practice
- Family wanting a richer parent network

If you prefer Madeira as a high school over the Langley HS, you can apply there after FCPS MS. Or switch now to a K-12 school such as Potomac or Flint Hill. If you switch to a K-8 school you can apply out to the high schools you like including Madeira.
