[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - what do you want for your child and from your school?  I'm struggling with the shortcomings of the deficient physical space in our ACPS ES. I also know that my ES kids would be in a more pleasant space and better served in schools that had much fewer English language learners.  But my older child is doing well at the HS, and will go to college and be set up for life that is realistic for that DC. But that DC was never ivy bound.  ACHS served that DC well. My DC in a Virginia university is outperforming peers, and ACHS unquestionably academically prepared that DC. That DC also gets to come home to our great neighborhood on holiday and spend time with close friends.[/quote]
I think you have touched on something, your older kids went through a different school system than your younger one is in. Education has changed a lot in a decade. [/quote]

PP here. Agree. In 5 years. Our ES went from one of the better to Title I.  There was also some really disheartening analysis on a FB page that it is white kids who are seeing marked performance declines.  The elimination of meaningful gifted education seems to have consequences.  [/quote]
