Funny, i actually am relieved we picked Thoreau based on our pros/coms list. This thread and feedback from others helped me feel we made the right choice.

She already had her mind made up. Just one more person taking a dig at LJ.

Not true, we really talked to parents of both schools. In fact, it. Seems currently it's a lj preference. We are happy with picking Thoreau. This is for our eldest...amazing how overzealous the pro crowd can be. We still have a younger kid ... making decisions on what we think is best

Based on the data, it appears MRES only has 5 kids per grade that are AAP qualified. I assume they fill up the local level 4 class with mostly bright, but not AAP-qualified kids (make of that what you wish -- there are many non-AAP kids who are capable of doing "AAP work"). Since there could only be one LL4 class per grade at MRES, the teacher who teaches that class doesn't have any peers to share the planning or learn from. For that reason, I would be hesitant to go that route (as well as the questionable number of kids who are higher level thinkers). But, it's possible that it's a great local program. I don't have first hand knowledge.

Thanks for the detailed responses. I think ALL FCPS kids are capable of AAP-level work. Maybe not in all subjects but certainly in one or more. FCPS would be better off making that their goal for education.

This is what it’s about for you, with a base kid or kids. You’re probably the histrionic one looking to move to loudoun this summer.

Not sure what you are trying to say.. No. I'm not moving to Loudon.
