[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we went for Language Immersion because we figured it was the best bang for our buck in FCPS. There was no indication that our kid needed any special services and that he would be fine in Gen Ed. He was starting to read and could do basic math in K. Language Immersion would provide something that was challenging and could potentially be useful. If he sticks with the language, he will be able to enter high school having completed 2 years of high school language which opens up space for electives or dual enrollment language classes that will count for college credits. It helps that his class size is shrinking every year, as kids move or leave the program. So he and his classmates are getting more time with the Teacher as the subject material is getting harder.

There is a magnet science school and a magnets arts school for Elementary kids in FCPS.

For the most part, the question you are asking is what programs and solutions exist for kids on grade level or who are ahead. What programs are in place for kids who are behind? Schools with higher income families tend to have more opportunities, because parents are more vocal in their demands. Not to mention the PTAs have more money to spend to support extra curricular activities and events that support Teachers.

You can get a solid, if not great, education at the vast majority of FCPS schools if you are an involved parent but it is a lot easier at the schools with fewer lower SES families. [/quote]
