[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you should consider sending your kid to private school.[/quote]

Most of the privates are much easier than FCPS AAP.  We moved one from private back to FCPS and the curriculum in FCPS was far more challenging.  Have heard the same from several others.  [/quote]

Name the private, please.  [/quote]

NP here.  I think it is pretty well known in this area that FCPS middle and high schools are generally more rigorous than the standard private schools (in grades 7 through 12), especially in math and science.  Temple Baptist, Dominion, Trinity, Oakcrest, GW Community, etc.  Certainly, there are some private high schools that are arguably better and offer more options than FCPS high schools, but there are very few of them.[/quote]

We have experience at two of the NOVA Catholic schools as well as FCPS and FCPS has been more rigorous for us (especially math).  [/quote]

Oh goodness, we had the opposite experience. My 7th grader was not prepared for having both a literature and English class the year she transferred from FCPS to our local Catholic school. She always had 4s on her elementary school progress reports, so this was a shock for us both. It took the whole year for her to get adjusted. Things seems okay now. [/quote]
