[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS is on a downward trajectory as well. Don’t go there. It’s fine for elementary but they are slowly devolving into low expectations and reduced rigor. The only differentiation is on iPads while teachers work with kids who need catching up. So many families our N Arlington neighborhood are making plans to go private for middle school. [/quote]

Due to parent feedback, APS is strengthening the middle school curriculum for gifted students. If parents stay involved, I'm sure it will improve further. Arlington's high schools are fine and plenty challenging. Some families have even complained there's too much homework in the high schools.[/quote]

That's great to hear about APS. ACPS is moving to get rid of its gifted program (TAG) because it isn't equitable. Started under the last superintendent, Hutchings, and will be completed by the new one who was Hutchings' pick.

The head of ACPS TAG doesn't even send her kids to ACPS. Sends them to private. Parent's at the ACPS school she used to send her kids to don't even question it when she speaks at PTA meetings. [/quote]
