[quote=Anonymous]I have and FCPS junior and freshman, so we have been involved in FCPS for a dozen years. 5 schools between my kids. (ES base, ES AAP, MS, HS base, TJ). Both have gotten great educations. By far the weakest school was the ES base a dozen years ago— and it was a wealthy school.  MS and HS (TJ and base) have been excellent.   I think this is because ES has to differentiate too much within a classroom. Once you hit HS, AAP/AP, Honors, GE and ESL and significant special ed are on different tracks, in different classrooms.  That helps a lot.

My kids are both ADHD/ 2e, and have benefits from having teachers who understand them and can accommodate them, without letting them off the hook. I am also ADHD, and really struggled in a way my kids have not had to because ADHD in women wasn’t a “thing” 25 years ago.

Eastern county IB is a joke, and they need to throw in the towel and keep it in one Eastern County magnet. But this has been a problem as long as my kids have been in FCPS.  It’s baffling that they don’t move IB into some of these schools.
