[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP!

7th grader = middle school (“Junior High”) here in McLean, which is part of FCPS.

AAP technically ends in 6th grade.  In middle school, there are “honors” classes.  If he takes honors classes, he will be in class with former AAP kids.

His MS will likely be Longfellow MS.  It’s a great school. It used to draw from 10 feeder elementary schools; one or two were a little rough; most were excellent.

The other MS for McLean would likely be Cooper MS.  Also excellent.  Cooper feeds into Langley HS, while Longfellow feeds into McLean HS; these are the #3 and #2 high schools in the state.

Both Longfellow and Cooper send many kids to Thomas Jefferson HS - which was previously the #1 HS in the United States.

Your son will be fine at either Longfellow or Cooper.  Make sure he is signed up for honors classes.

You are incorrect. AAP continues into 8th grade. Some MS have Honors classes and AAP classes (Carson shows them as AA on the Grade Book) Only committee placed kids are in the AAP classes while Honors is open enrollment. Cooper and Longfellow are both MS AAP Centers and have AAP classes. Some people will tell you that AAP and Honors are the same, some will tell you that they are different. No idea what it is like at Longfellow or Cooper but AAP is supposed to be more in-depth then Honors at Carson.[/quote]
