[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have found the FARMS and ELL population in the City schools overwhelm them and a big emphasis is placed on those group of students. [/quote] What is "FARMS" and "ELL?"[/quote] FARMS= Free and Reduced Meals Students ELL=English Language Learners Yes, the schools in Alexandria do have a substantial number of people with lower incomes and English as a second language. We are in ACPS schools, we fit into neither category, and while we do feel that the schools work hard to support the needs of these students (as they should), we do not feel it is at the expense of our children. We are satisfied with the education they are receiving. OP, I would tour both schools. It will give you the best sense of each one. I know happy parents at both schools, so it ultimately will be which is the best fit for your circumstances.[/quote]
