[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This doesn’t answe your question, but it seems like LR should have LLIV. So many families struggle with this decision since many want their kids to go to Robinson in 7th and are happy with LR. I am also surprised the numbers don’t support LLIV. [/quote]

I completely agree. My DD was identified for AAP, we toured White Oaks, and I have to say I was completely underwhelmed. We LOVE Laurel Ridge. It has been such a fantastic school and between the amazing teachers, low key but good admins and strong parent community, I am seriously concerned about moving to White Oaks. I heard homework horror stories (we have zilch now beyond reading) and tons of projects (also none now). If AAP means more busy work, I don't think it's worth it.

I have friends in a different AAP center and they don't report the endless projects and busy work. It's like the opposite at White Oaks for some reason.

I asked about advanced math and it sounds like they are willing to do a section of accelerated math if enough people stick around. We may do this.[/quote]
