[quote=Anonymous]I was also really nervous about ACPS when my children started, and it has been 9 years now and I have 3 in the system: 2nd, 5th and 7th. It seems like on these forums there is a definite bias against ACPS, a lot of it undeserved. Is it a school district with no problems at all? No. We have found it to be a really great experience so far and I feel like my children are engaged and challenged, I love the class sizes in elementary and after 2 years at GWMS, am really liking that as well. I have heard these stories of how no one sends their kids to the middle schools and I was fully prepared to pull out my daughter at the slightest provocation, but I've been so pleasantly surprised. Of the 12 children in my daughter's 5th grade math TAG class, all 12 are still at the middle school. Her science projects have been so interesting, her math teachers really challenged her with special projects, and she has developed a real love for reading. I mean, I don't know what else I can ask for, the kids are learning, they love school, are testing well and its in a safe environment. I think you just need to decide for yourself, talk to parents in the neighborhood who send their kids to ACPS and see what you think, go to an elementary school and see what you think.[/quote]
