[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are not special needs but they thrived at ACPS LCTA/GW/TC.  What was good?  Small classes in ES especially 12-15 kids K-2 and never more than 22 3-5 - that was the policy back then and it was truly amazing.   In addition to a great ES foundation in arts, academics and world cultures (LCTA was a core knowledge school so lessons had an international focus), they had lots of great teachers over the years - way more good than bad.  At GW there were so many opportunities for sports, orchestra, and activities that were substantial (Model UN where they got to travel, Theater, Clubs where they could volunteer and have leadership opportunities).  Minnie Howard (9th grade )  included the Stem program including Engineering in 9th grade, trips to colleges and universities and all sorts of special projects.   TC offered even more opportunities plus trips to the White House and other places all around DC and many special speakers over the years.  My kids are thankful for the diversity ACPS offered and how comfortable they are all sorts of social situations.   It worked for my kids - they made life long friends and so did I.  ACPS proud.

LCTA is the only Core Knowledge elem school in ACPS. Your kids are lucky that they could go there and get the start that they did. If ACPS was truly committed to equity, they would allow every elementary school child access to the same good start your kids had.[/quote]
