[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are thinking of transferring back to Ashlawn after a miserable experience at a local parochial school. Can families share about their experience with gifted services offered at Ashlawn, and whether its upper elementary teaching is able to prepare kids well for middle school? [/quote] Gifted services across APS are crap to be blunt. That being said, I regularly hear how respectful kids from Ashlawn are in middle school. [b]Another issue with all elementary schools is they don’t do much in fifth grade to prepare children for the executive functioning skills needed to manage your own schedule, classes, tests in middle school[/b]. [/quote] I believe this is because APS approaches 6th grade very much as a transition year and focuses more on these things in 6th rather than 5th.[/quote]
