[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both school systems are good. FCPS is probably better for the smaller subset of gifted kids, but overall, the Arlington schools are fine.[/quote] Back-handed compliment. Arlington doesn't *need* a gifted program. Ya know?[/quote] All public schools in Virginia are required to have some sort of provisions for gifted kids. It is up to the individual school district how to do this. Fairfax does it different from Arlington. Is Fairfax's approach "better?" That is subject to debate. Personally I think FCPS does a better job for the smaller subset of gifted kids. Arlington HAS a gifted program but it is different.
