[quote=Anonymous]There is definitely an expectation to keep kids in public. My kids WERE in AAP at a “good” FCPS center until 6th grade and there were still massive problems - overcrowding (30+ kids in a trailer), behavioral issues, bullying that went unaddressed by the overwhelmed administration, and really not that rigorous of an education. The language arts education was almost nonexistent. There was definitely a reaction among peers when we left for a small, conservative Catholic school. It has been wonderful so far. There is a focus on character and behavior that has been very welcome. Most of the kids are genuinely nice kids, and having boys wear ties and blazers improves their behavior. The school is phone free, which makes a difference. The history, language arts, and science curricula have been outstanding. Math is not as accelerated but the teaching is very solid. My rising junior has maxed out math at school and is taking online Calculus BC next year.[/quote]
