[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving for AAP could be a mistake, especially with the schools you are targeting. Those are the schools with far higher scores required to be in pool because so many parents prep for the NNAT and new test and then work hard to curate the perfect work samples and parent referral packet. The number of families that end up on the AAP Forum complaining that their kid with a 140 test score was not selected for AAP in the Langley and McLean pyramids is surprisingly high. Those are the pyramids with the highest number of rejected kids.

Move because you want a different school experience. Move because you want a different community. Move for commute or a bigger house or whatever but moving for AAP is a gamble. Only move if you are going to be happy if your child doesn't get into AAP. If you are hell bent on AAP, move to a different pyramid where the parents are less AAP obsessed.[/quote]

Agreed.  And note that "normal" academic level in the Langley/Mclean pyramids is likely to be "advanced" somewhere else.  I don't know if that would be the case for your Arlington schools, which I imagine are the same.[/quote]
