[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kent Gardens does Math by section in 2nd Grade (for non immersion). So DC 1 (non immersion)was in an ‘advanced math Section - except they don’t call it that. But, the immersion kids also can be instructed on above grade materials as well. Not sure how it works but DC2 (immersion) was doing above grade math in 2nd as well (by 3rd quarter).

We really like Kent Gardens - the staff are great and they are also excellent in making sure that 2e kids perform to the best of their ability! [/quote]

I don’t think there are any rentals for under 2k in McLean.[/quote]

OP: Apart from avoiding a few schools, there's not a lot of variation in the AAP schools.  Some MS become TJ feeders because parents who really want to send their kids to TJ and do a lot of outside supplementing move there and so it becomes a bit self-fulfilling.  But you get strong STEM programs in the majority of FCPS high schools--it's routine to have schools offering 25+ different courses and having students fill all of them. Focus on you--your commute, your budget.  As others have noted FCPS serves a highly educated demographic.

DS is in ES so I can only go by what others have posted here but I believe that the types and amounts of extra curriculars vary greatly at the different AAP Centers in ES and in MS. Oak Hill and Carson are known to have a large and more varied number. So even if the curriculum is suppose to be the same, the broader offering of academic based clubs and activities after school can be very beneficial to kids.[/quote]
