Can you elaborate on what you mean by "opting out?"  Did the school district place you?  Which school district?

Also, for the posters who spoke positively about an FCPS Title I school, can you say which ones?

Thanks![/quote]

I am the poster you questioned.  I am in FCPS.  At the time my oldest started, our neighborhood school was "under sanction" under the NCLB legislation for not meeting "Adequate Yearly Progress" within certain ethnic group categories.  As a result, they by law had to give us an option.  So, we got a letter from the school stating our right to opt out, and giving two choices for FCPS schools that were receiving opt out students.  They placed you according to space.  They also provided bussing.  Now that the neighborhood school is not under sanction, the bus is gone, as is the right to opt out.  My son is able to stay where he started till grade 6, but his younger siblings were not grandfathered in.  We had decided anyway to give the neighborhood school a try.  So far we have been very pleased.

Our neighborhood school is Dogwood Elementary.[/quote]
