Honestly, I don't understand why race has to factor in where academics and merits are the criteria for admission!!

Because diversity adds to the educational experience.

Because the black and white vehemently refuse to pay their tax supporting the Asian kids @ a public magnet school TJ

If you are white you are fueling ethnic tension. If you are Asian you are racial and condescending.

but it is true
the truth shall set us free.

I'm glad your truth has set you free. I'm not sure your truth is universal, however.

Interesting that number of Carson admits actually went down last year - significant increase in Longfellow admits.

DD's BFF is in Carson this year and only knows one kid who didn't get in, so looks like Carson will be up higher this year.
Her mom said that at preview night there were not that many from Loudon this year and only one kid from Fairfax City
Will need to wait to see numbers - not that it really matters....

Longfellow and Rocky Run #s will come down over time w/opening of Cooper AAP and Lanier AAP. The Carson AAP center needs to be broken up as well.

Will there be boundary change or addition for Cooper AAP? Not sure where they will pull the student to make up the numbers.

There are no boundary changes planned for Cooper. It's just the AAP kids from the Langley pyramid will now go to Cooper, not Kilmer and Longfellow.

If McLean and Marshall continue to grow, and Langley does not, there might be a boundary change in the future to move some kids from Longfellow/McLean and/or Kilmer/Marshall to Cooper/Langley.

Cooper will be undergoing a major renovation starting in 2020. Not sure if the plan is to expand the school at that time. They are still well under the building's current design and program capacities.

Thanks for the info. It's a win-win with any of these schools mentioned.

One easy way to not pay taxes in a particular jurisdiction is to move. Works all the time.
