[quote=Anonymous]Merrifield isn't a "terrible area." Parts of it are semi-industrial, but the Mosaic District is going to be great. My bet is that most Thoreau parents whose kids get into AAP now send their kids to Jackson, not Thoreau. To put it in perspective, when the GT program started at Jackson in 2008, there were 117 GT students. The number has grown every year to 160 (2009), 188 (2010), and 220 (2011). In addition, I think some parents keep their kids at Thoreau, rather than send them to Jackson, so they'll be at middle school with other kids going to Madison HS, since the rest of Jackson feeds into Oakton and Falls Church HS. That was less of an issue when these kids were assigned to the AAP center at Kilmer, because Kilmer splits between Madison and Marshall. [/quote]
