[quote=Anonymous]It really depends where in Loudoun County you will be moving to. I would suggest a smallish fringe rural ES in Purcellville, Hillsboro, Lincoln, Lovettsville, Middleburgh, or Waterford area. There are 1:1 aides in Lovettsville ES until the 3rd grade I believe in special ed. Then kids get assigned to a different elementary school in Purcellville after that with 1:1 aide. If you want your 1st grader to be in the general ed, you will have a special education teacher assigned that will pull them out a few times a week. There is also speech therapy and occupational therapy as recommended/agreed to in IEP. Your IEP should hold even if you're coming from another state, it is the law I believe as long as you're in public school setting.

Schools in Eastern LoCo have 25-26 students per class with a large ESL student population and it will probably not work for your kid. Waterford ES class size is about 14-16 for 1st grade with just two classes per grade, Lincoln ES might be 8-9 kids per class with just one class. Most of the teachers in these small rural fringe schools are highly experienced with more than 10 years of tenure at the same school. I've also heard great things about Seldens Landing ES in Leesburg, but most of the ES schools in Leesburg area are so so.  Some ES in Purcellville are 25-26 kids per class with like 3/4 classes per grade, so you need to do your homework.

You can always apply for out of bounds, as many parents do.....will have to drive your kid though, as there is no bus service for out of bounds kids.
