[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's handholding in APS middle and high schools to be sure, if you're looking for it, with after-school tutoring available in schools, particularly for math. Kids prep for college in different ways. What we're finding with IBD in APS is that if you go with a particularly tough and unusual subject, e.g. Arabic, Chinese or Russian, you get small classes. By the time you reach Level IV (students meet their language requirement with Level III) language class size is in the teens. My younger kid works 1-2 years ahead in MS math. There are only a dozen kids in his 8th grade Algebra II class. [/quote] agree but APS is not like a private where the school will proactively reach out early. That is fine in most cases - but the idea that DCPS is somehow better because there are fewer supports seems like people trying to justify staying in a weaker system.[/quote]
