Good point.

One of the advisory committees (AAPAC) included a listing of after-school programs at each middle school as part of their report. It's on the FCPS website:

The listing starts on page 50. "

Thank you for this. OP, some things to consider.

very interesting. Both on the numbers taking algebra in 7th and the number of extracurriculars offered. I think there is a difference.
