[quote=Anonymous][quote]One of my kids is working in a GW lab as a research assistant as a middle schooler. There are so many educational opportunities in ACPS that are not available at private schools. I do not think that my kids are getting ahead because they go to school with low income kids or a diverse school. Public schools offer dual enrollment, AP, lots of experiential learning opportunities.[/quote] Yes and no. I agree that there are some opportunities that many privates may not offer. However, some of the opportunities that I thought would be there for my child, such as advanced math classes, were not offered due to insufficient enrollment. Out of at least 900 students in a grade, the required 5 kids to hold the advanced math class either did not get a 4 on the BC Calc AP, or did not desire to be in the class.[/quote]
