[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 12:53, and add two other cons: FCC is a small town, which has its advantages. The con: Everybody knows everybody else's business. Unlike in FFX, there's no full-time AAP program. Teachers mostly do a very good job pre-assessing kids and differentiating in the classroom, and the elementary school TAAP teacher is wonderful and runs a truly engaging pull-out program, but it's not full-time AAP. Mean CogAT's are well above average (around the 85th percentile) so the level of instruction and enrichment is high despite the lack of AAP, but the real outliers remain largely unchallenged until later in middle school and high school. Pro: very little school bureaucracy and almost everyone at the schools is friendly and helpful. You won't run into a situation like today's poster from Longfellow: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/245451.page Also, class sizes are small relative to McLean.[/quote]
