[quote=Anonymous]We split the baby: we sent kids to private school for elementary and middle, and sent to a good public HS. I am a strong believer in the early child education and it worked very well for us. Our private school don't easily admit kids with SN, so there were no much distraction as in AP elementary classes (yes, all my kids took FCPS tests and all was qualified for level 4 AP program). However, after doing a lot of research on AP program in FCPS I decided it not going to work for us. They had a great experience in HS and for both it was very easy (pulled 4.5-4.7 GPA in addition to two varsity teams), all got to top universities (including Ivy League). However, I definitely see the foundation that was built in early elementary school (impeccable manners, caring about other people, compassion, etc.). It is definitely something that usually taught at home, but it was important for us that it was emphasized at school as well. [/quote]
