[quote=Anonymous]My children attend St. Louis in Alexandria.  We moved from FFX public a few years ago.  Main reasons, during back to school night my daughters teacher said "In fourth grade we do not take a science SOL, so we don't have science as a regular class but will try to incorporate it when we can."

What?? No science because they won't be tested in the spring in that suject??  We've been very happy at St. Louis.  They have a science lab, they still teach penmanship, grammer beyond basic parts of speech and all grades have recess everyday. The grading scale is rigid, 93 and above is an A.  All my kids teachers have Master's degrees in the subjects they teach.  There are no discipline problems so teachers spend more time teaching.  Expectations are higher both for academics and behavior.

Basketball, track, cheer leading, and volleyball all available after school.  Band and chorus, as well as general music is offered.  Spanish is taught I believe in all grades, I know for sure 4th grade and above.[/quote]
