Navy Elementary New Principal

[Anonymous]

Check the housing price around a school then you know if it’s a good school district since school rating has a lot to do with parent contribution. Navy es has new principle and so far he’s managed the school well, and for the academic part it had never dropped or affected by what happened to formal principal, since interim principal and assistant principals all did their best to support school. If your goal is to have your kids join aap, then navy can be very competitive and more work load at upper elementary since most will go to Carson then try to apply to TJ; however if you don’t want the pressure for your kids you will be happy with non aap to franklin then Oakton path or aap but not the tj then Ivy League path. I currently have 2 kids at navy but not familiar with Waples mill, only know it’s also at a good school district based on its location.

Or send your AAP student to Franklin for their excellent AAP program. Having sent kids to both Carson and Franklin, I was much more impressed with the AAP program at Franklin. It may not have as many students go to TJ, but it's a fantastic program.

How is the Franklin AAP program better than Carson?

PSA: There are a handful of parents who loved the previous principal who keep trying to keep this false narrative going because they miss their bestie who gave them preferential treatment.

Can someone please explain to me why Carson is an option when Franklin has AAP?

Carson is the center school for AAP. It has many kids from different schools attending for AAP. Kids in Level IV can always choose a center for AAP. However, Franklin has a local level IV program. Kids that normally attend Franklin in boundary may choose to do AAP at their base school instead (which would be Franklin). How do you not know this?

Not everyone is invested in AAP and has a clue how it works. There are plenty of schools where parents are not worried about AAP, it is not a big deal. If your kid is not in AAP at those schools, parents won’t have a clue how the system works.

There are also people who don’t like the Centers and think that schools with their own LLIV programs should not be sending kids to Center schools.

I’ve known about center schools vs local level IV schools since before my kids even attended K. They list on the FCPS website which elementary schools have local AAP or are center AAP schools. You can also see what middle schools they feed into. I don’t buy for a second that involved parents don’t know this or look around for it. If anyone is remotely invested in their kid’s education they know this.

Our experience was that Franklin offered more individualized projects based on each student's interests regarding a topic, which is something gifted kids often crave. They were also a nurturing environment, did a lot of cross curriculum projects and assignments, and were experienced with gifted education and gifted learners. We also appreciated that we knew who our child's core teachers would be because there is only one set of teachers for each grade who teach AAP. It seemed like they were all outstanding teachers as well.

How are you such a raging B___??


Why on earth does FCPS even have AAP Centers in middle school? It is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Children switch classes for every subject, a center is not necessary. SO STUPID. Just makes ho-bags like PP feel superior.

Sweetie pie? Are you for real? Does it make you feel better about yourself to demean others?
