[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was you years ago and I hated FCPS for the segregation. Still do and have difficulty recommending FCPS today due to the issue. My children were in a center school and not in the "gifted" classes. I too did not seek outside testing although I knew it was the way in. I have always been glad my kids were educated together (well different grades), but they had most of the same teachers and one child did not feel superior to the others. Fast forward ~ oldest has done exceptionally well and is now a medical doctor. I'm left to wonder if FCPS does any follow-up on outcomes. Wish all this segregation nonsense - in the early grades especially, would go away. Life was so much better as they transitioned to high school. High school was the best. AP classes were open to all. To me it felt like a hugh weight had been lifted.[/quote]
