[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the downside of Fox Mill is that they are local level AAP and -- at least as of last year -- they were just mixing the AAP and regular kids in the same classes. If your child is particularly bright, he's going to have fewer people at that level in his classroom; and fewer in the entire school interested in a particular niche. The school itself is much smaller, and the demographics of the attendees  + the additional AAP draw mean a stronger student population.

The upside is Fox Mill is *much* better run, plans out its lessons more effectively, and is less laptop driven.

Navy recently lost its principal, and [b]it's possible that the new one will steer them down a different path. [/b]But as someone who had AAP-level kids in both schools, I much preferred Fox Mill and thought there was far more learning and skills practice happening there.

God I hope so. Navy overuses laptops and slides. They are still using materials from distance learning. It is incredibly frustrating.[/quote]
