[quote=Anonymous]Our child has been gone through ACPS for elementary school and is now at GW. Having taught for many years in FCPS, I can say that his education has been comparable. We've only had one teacher who wasn't great (she did have her strengths, and DC learned a lot about technology from her), and she moved states after one year. DC was TAG identified early on, so our experience was from that standpoint. In lower grades, we had to supplement in order for him to learn anything new in math, but that improved by fourth grade with compacted math. The only program where I saw a drastic difference was in their band and orchestra programs. Their concerts were TRULY dreadful compared with those at my school in FCPS. Even the advanced class was consistently off key and and just plain painful.

We are now at GW, and DC seems challenged. He's actually having to work to be successful in his honors classes. We'll make a decision about TC Williams when the time comes, but we'll likely give it a shot. [/quote]
