[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family left Key too. My child would be in the 6th grade (Gunston) now if we stayed. While the community is close knit and fantastic for the most part, I just feel like if you can't supplement Spanish at home, there's just learning loss every year when they sit 2.5 months at home just speaking English. And 2-3 weeks in the winter. The pandemic surely is a factor too. Lots of kids just aren't fluent by the 5th grade. I think at that point, a lot of families just choose to move their kid to their neighborhood middle school.

The teaching staff just doesn't seem happy there for some reason. Don't know if it's APS stress or just dysfunction within their school's leadership. Probably both.

Also, the move was just terrible for the community. I hope they recover.[/quote]

Can someone elaborate on the move? I understand that the old location was closer to more English language learners, and so the new location is less ideal. At the same time, not knowing the particulars, Im having a hard time understanding why a geographical move would be "Terrible" if the kids are still in Arlington, fairly close to where they were before and the County provides transportation. Can you share more on how it impacted the community? I can see Covid would have a way bigger impact[/quote]
