[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington starts their gifted education in kindergarten. People will leave Fairfax if they can't get any advanced services by 3rd grade. It's already a contentious issue that FCPS has dumbed down their curriculum to work with all the ESOL and FARM kids they are taking in.[/quote] Arlington has a higher FARMS percentage than Fairfax. Their model is just different. They don't care as much about advanced academics, and they rely on the residential segregation that exists in Arlington to create pools of students that are more likely to be on the same track academically. The parents accept the fact that their kids will not be as challenged academically by the time they complete high school in exchange for not taking the risk that their own kids won't make some cut.
