[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of two elementary school students.  Very disappointed so far. I’ve noticed that all these DCUM threads are venting about elementary school education. What happens in middle and high schools?   Are elementary gen ed kids doomed in middle and high school?[/quote]

They say, and it has been my experience as well as that of my friends in Fairfax and Arlington, that Arlington has better elementary schools and Fairfax has better high schools. [/quote]

I concur!  I attended FFx Co schools and my HS was the strongest.

My kids are in APS and had a very strong elementary.  MS not so much.  My kids are going to a DC private for HS.  It’s the consensus in my neighborhood that things start dropping year by year after 5th.  Like FFx there is a strong “kool-aid” crowd that is wowed by the push kids far ahead and the teach to the test results without realizing what their kids don’t know (and if they do, they have a staff of tutors).  I say public HSs in the area are “decent”, by no means “excellent” no matter their niche or US News rating.[/quote]
