[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, neighbor! :)

We faced the same decision when our kid placed into AAP level 4. DC had friends at Westgate, and we were comfortable there. But we switched the kid to Lemon Road thinking that having more kids on the same level would be helpful.

I can honestly say it's been a mixed bag. DC is in an all-AAP 4 classroom all day, yes, but they do miss their Westgate friends, and, as you point out, it's hard to do after-school activities there. The curriculum seems slightly more advanced at Lemon Road, but that's balanced by the teachers (at least DC's teachers) being somewhat *less* skilled with AAP teaching, something that has really surprised us.

I think your child will no doubt flourish in either place. Good luck with the decision![/quote]

This may be a factor in that lemon road hasn't been an AAP center until recently. This kind of stuff is not seen in McLean, Vienna or Great Falls AAP centers. Another thing to consider when using the public schools, not all AAP centers are the same. I notice that lemon rd has a lower great schools rating  (7) for an AAP center when compared to McLean, Vienna and Great Falls, so there may be some correlation there.[/quote]
