[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were very happy to say goodbye to FHES in favor of LA. We came from another state and our kids were repeating materials from 2 grades back. the attitude at the school is not supportive for advanced kids. They really teach to a mean, which is  low. The one class was not very advanced. The activities were fun, but again a few grade levels down.
LA is not perfect, but it was a much  better school for our two kids in AAP. [b]There were more students to be friends with[/b]. There were more teachers. The level was higher academically. I think there is a divide unless you join a club simply because there are 3-4 classes of AAP that all rotate together, so they see those children  more.[/quote]

What does this mean?[/quote]

... because there were more kids that they were in classes with. Kids tend to like the person sitting next to them. At FHES with only one class, there are only the other AAP kids sitting with them most of the time.[/quote]

Flint Hill has mixed classes now for 3rd grade and going forward. They break off into an AAP class for math and language arts, but otherwise mix with students for the rest of the day. It's actually a great setup for someone who wants to keep siblings together, give an advanced child a challenging education, and still expose them to children who are not in the AAP program, but have other things they are gifted in.[/quote]
