It's a school that fosters a great community--a real community school that is welcoming to families and filled with caring teachers.
Lake Anne is unfair to its special needs students. The staff collude in the preparation student IEPs with little or no input from the parents. When the IEP is presented, the FCPS contingent marches in lock step. While parent input is considered, no major changes to the proposed IEP is allowed. Furthermore, modification of existing IEPs is not allowed. In short, if I were you, I would keep my special needs student away from LAES.
Lake Anne is unique because it is an Arts Focus school with the CETA program with the Kennedy Center and the Spanish Immersion Program. It is a Title II school which keeps the class sizes in K-3 lower than area schools. It is a wonderful place for a child to be if the child doesn't have learning problems. Some teachers are excellent but turnover in the staff has reduced the overall experience level and makes it very possble that a child will slip through the cracks. The Spanish Immersion program is good, children with talent in Language Arts are speaking openly by 3rd grade. I'm sad to say that it is the main reason to be at Lake Anne. Kids get per week: recess 4 , PE 2 , music 2 , art 1, and drama 1. Not many other schools compare in the Arts.
