[quote=Anonymous]They are all great schools.

Keene Mill is an AAP center, which might be a plus or minus for your family.

When my kid did AAP pre covid, we specifically looked for schools that did not feed into Keene Mill for AAP and only looked for Sangster feeders.  There is always a bit of a divide in the center school populations between AAP kids and zoned kids, but Keene Mill took it to a whole different level with things like special multiday overnight cabin camping field trips only for the AAP kids, while the non AAP kids stayed at school.  They were the only school that did this exclusive trip, and it went on for years.  It just didn't seem like the kind of culture I wanted for my kid, even though they would have been AAP.  Sangster did a wilderness ropes course day trip, but it was the entire 6th grade class, with AAP and non AAP mingled together.  There was nothing just for AAP kids.

That was pre covid, and Keene Mill has gone through at least one new principal since then.  They might not even offer that special AAP only field trip any longer, but it would be worth researching if you are looking at houses zoned for Keene Mill.[/quote]
