[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent who posted on this thread last year when my son was going through the identification process for Futura. He was selected and I would say that less than 10% of his fourth grade class attends Futura. I also know many other kids with high test scores that did not get in. I did look at his portfolio and was shocked at what was presented for him. Luckily he had test scores and the teacher recommendation, since the work submitted by his SEARCH teacher was not great at all and so he got 2 out of the 3 sections. Futura has been great for him, loves his teacher and is being challenged to really think outside the box. But I do know some of his friends did drop out this year. Had a hard time keeping up with missed work in the classroom, did not enjoy the Futura lessons, etc. It is not for everyone and definitely nothing like FCPS. Not sure if he will continue with Spectrum in middle school, we will wait and see. [/quote]
