[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bells and whistles I was referring to included all the elective courses in middle and high school, the solo IB or AP programs, the academy programs, the AAP program, the strings and band program starting in 3rd3rd/4th grade, the elementary STEM specials, Thomas Jefferson, elementary arts magnets, immersion programs. Many of these are nice, but because each school has a different focus, parents have to weed through all these choices and the focus on these things take away from the focus on the general education classes. At least Loudoun has some standard textbooks or workbooks for their kids to use and you can count on having a similar classroom experience no matter which school your child attends.[/quote]

and they have straight shot feeders -- they keep the school  zones close to the schools and they send one middle school to one high school.  All the ES we saw in Ashburn had playgrounds, so maybe that info is out of date.  Yes, they have rezoned a lot lately, but that will be settling down now that Ashburn is being built out.  They aren't perfect, but they have the right idea with the start times for their kids -- elem. first, middle second, hs last.... and busing that makes sense.[/quote]
