Lake Braddock AAP

[Anonymous]

DD was accepted into AAP for third grade, but we decided to keep her at our base school. I'm not sure we made the right decision for her, and are considering moving her to the center for middle school next year.

Does anyone have any experience with Lake Braddock AAP vs Robinson for middle school? Any thoughts on moving to a center for middle school, where I assume she won't know anyone at first?

I'm in the same boat with my 6th grade DS and I had neighbors go through a similar situation. Her DS went to LB and then went to the base High School. There were only about 6-10 of then who knew each other (and that actually includes who he knew from going to the AAP center). She it very thankful for marching band, he just never meet friends when he started high school. She wishes she skipped LB middle school. between the bus ride and the social disadvantage for high school, it wasn't worth it for her.

We are going to go to our base middle school. Just easier to make the high school transition. My DS is already taking Pre-algeba and he can still take the honors classes at our local middle school. So, I'm not really understanding what LB would offer us.

I'm in the Irving/West Springfield pyramid. So I don't know if Robinson is different. But Irving has everything we need.
