[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Learning Reading, math, Jamestown, planets, plants seems pretty well rounded. If she’s happy and doesn’t seem bored I wouldn’t borrow trouble. [/quote]

She didn’t learn any reading or math this year, though. They reviewed last year’s reading and math over and over. Well, that’s not entirely true. She learned a bit of new content in reading and math, but NOTHING like last year, when she learned to read, which was amazing.[/quote]

None of the local public schools are really great at differentiation in elementary school.  FCPS AAP does differentiate some, starting (I think) at 3rd/4th grade.  So nearly all public elementary schools tend to focus on bringing the bottom kids up to average, so the school’s overall SOL scores will be acceptable.  Kids who are strong in reading or math or whatever might get bored more easily in elementary.

Usually, by middle school there will be multiple levels of difficulty offered in math and other subjects, so differentiation does usually improve later on.[/quote]
