[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a W feeder neighborhood in MCPS.  Sent DC to public for two years before making the switch.  Our highly rated elementary school had gigantic classes, tested constantly, rigorously stuck to the county curriculum with zero creativity, gave almost no feedback on how DC was doing on any regular basis, and had PE for a grand total of 30 minutes per week.  [b]Our DC was a soft-spoken, good student who didn't need a lot of extra help or get in trouble - with many others in the class who fell into either or both of those categories, our DC got lost in the shuffle.[/b]  We are in private now and DC has really flourished.

Wow.  I'm one of the PPs, and I could've written this.  Spouse and I have exactly said we're worried kid will get "lost in the shuffle."  We have a kindergartner who is sweet and easygoing but a quiet, middle of the pack student.  Class sizes aren't a problem in our public, but nonetheless kid is very quiet and we're afraid will continue to be ignored as time goes on, in favor of both the academic superstars and those with behavioral concerns.
