[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely would do SSSAS middle or high school over APS. Sorry- we did both APS and SSSAS - and SSSAS is the clear winner both academically, socially and community-wise. Our last one is still there and thriving. Would never go back to APS- the crowding and the teaching to the test- UGH![/quote] It depends on the kid. We know families who left SSSAS for APS. And we know lots of kids who were “struggling” at APS who went to SSSAS. Look, I’d send my kid who needed extra attention who wasn’t Uber successful at APS ES to SSSAS. And they might blossom there. However, I would not (and did not) send my super bright academically oriented kids there over YHS, W&L, TJ, or Big3. Unfortunately, Arlington is filled with the latter and most of us make the same calculus so you aren’t getting APS’ best and brightest. I do think you are getting some of those kids from ACPS, however. [/quote]
