[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this nonsense is why we chose to move to Loudoun. The gifted program is a minor after thought and not a separate curriculum. They also admit way fewer kids (with even higher scores) but all students remain in class together.[/quote]

I’m starting to understand.  The commute would be murder but I could own a horse farm out there for what I pay to live in FCPS.  Now that I telework full-time it’s incredibly appealing.[/quote]

PP here. I live 10 minutes north of Reston Town Center. The downtown commute is brutal, but places like Tyson’s, Reston, Chantilly and Herndon are fine.[/quote]

NP but we're planning on moving here after my older child finishes 2nd grade (this year) mainly because we think AAP is horseshit.[/quote]

PP here. My neighbor is an AART in FCPS and she deliberately chose LCPS for her kids because of the AAP craziness. I think you will be happy with your decision. We also have the best start times. 7:50 ES/8:30 MS/9:15 HS.[/quote]

Yikes! 7:50 for elem sounds god awful![/quote]

It sounds awesome, as my kids wake up at 6 every day. Don't kids wake up later as they go from preschool to upper elementaryto middleschool? Plus it's very compatible with a dual income family's work schedule. If I drop off my ES kid at 9:20am, I don't get to work until 10:15. So I pay for SACC  before care (pre covid). So do many other parents who use the SACC before care. [/quote]

The 8am PP clearly doesn’t work. Most functioning adults aren’t horrified by having to wake up (or wake their kids up) before 8am.[/quote]
