Why did navy ratings go down?

Anonymous
That wouldn't explain the drop b/c the drop is comparing the third grade scores in the 2009-10 school year with the third grade scores in the 2010-11 school year. Neither group includes the kids who were sent to AAP.

Not that my son will start at Navy until 2013, but now I have to go digging. Of course part of the reason we purchased in this area was due to Navy Elementary. One thing I did notice when checking elementary schools in the area is that Navy has no G/T program (at least a year ago I didn't see one) nor did they have full day Kindergarten although the other 3 schools in the area did. I think the kindergarten thing has changed this year but I had no idea about the scores.

Off to do my research now.

PP, did you do any research? I'm considering buying a house at Navy elementary.

Dude, this is a 2yr old thread -- any data that PP had is outdated.
BTW, Navy will now be an AAP center.

Why do you think so?

Oak Hill has an amazing principal and I've heard great things about the school.

Didn't the SOL tests get harder last year? I think being an AAP center, the scores will only go up if that's your worry.

I thought Crossfield also went to Franklin and then Oakton. Any others? We're looking in the same area too.

Navy --> Franklin --> Oakton
Waples Mill --> Franklin--> Oakton
Crossfield--> Rachel Carson--> Oakton

So Crossfield is the only Oakton school that goes to Rachel Carson? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Has any of the current families seen Navy becoming better school after turning into an AAP center?

Has the level of instructions or teachers changed after AAP?

Navy, GBW, Oak Hill, Lees Corner are all great schools.
