[quote=Anonymous]For my first, I opted out of APS MS b/c the fully-loaded IEP in ES was not going to be honored, at all, at our local MS even though kid was still two years behind in reading, writing, spelling, ect.

Kid 2 was very well remediated (earlier) at APS ES and so was in a different space when they started MS so this is based on kid 2 with less severe differences:

* Do Arlington middle schools offer anything similar to pull-outs or small-group remediation, or is it mostly a push-in/support model?

Duel-taught classes with one calls, Instruction Studies, to help with homework and keeping up with classes and 1:1 remediation.

* How did your child generally do in middle school when they haven’t fully closed the gap with peers yet but received these supports-- are they able to keep up with the pace/volume of work, or does it become overwhelming?

Has accommodations so that it doesn't become overwhelming, but still does. Even with a strong IEP and supports, they force "independence" when my child is not intellectually ready (current struggle).

* Any experiences (positive or negative) with specific middle schools would be really helpful, as we are open to moving within Arlington

Don't want to out myself. so no for last question.

Good luck and I mean that. MS is hard and the options are expensive.[/quote]
