[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of us who cannot afford privates/cannot move to McLean, what are our options? Supplement at home?[/quote] Push HARD for a LLIV center at your base elementary school, or failing that, at least advanced math starting in 3rd grade. If you don't already have one or both, you'll probably get resistance from your admin team. Get enough other parents to rally behind it, and keep raising the issue at PTA meetings or on the school's FB page. Also, people get touchy about this, but the reason FCPS does high school (and to a lesser extent, middle school) so well is because it's straight up tracking according to a kid's smarts and test scores. Students who are strong, or even just on grade level, in math or language arts by 9th grade aren't going to be in the same classes as their peers who are four grade levels behind. FCPS has the physical space to accommodate various classes and skill levels, which is important.[/quote]
