[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cooper does not [i]currently[/i] have AAP.  That will post certainly change in the next 1-5 years- probably closer to the one year than 5.  Longfellow is at capacity and it expected to grow.  Cooper is under capacity and expected to shrink.  Kilmer is also over populated and predicted to grow.

If you are in Langley HS district, your child will go to Longfellow or Kilmer depending on your location.  [b]When your child is in HS, your DC will go to Langley.[/b]  You can see this in the populations of the grades.  The class sizes (7th and 8th) at Cooper are smaller than at Langley.  The class sizes at Longfellow are much larger than McLean (they are headed towards 700 apiece now).  Going from Longfellow to McLean, they drop by 150+ students.  Some go to Langley, some to Marshall, some to TJ, some to private (but that is mitigated by the ones who went to MS for private and come back to public for HS).

Since Colvin Run is split, I would ask at the office where the line is between Kilmer and Longfellow.[/quote]

You can just check the boundary locator now to find both the base and AAP assignments.

There are a lot of Longfellow students who go to the other schools mentioned, but McLean also gets students from Kilmer who pupil place from Marshall for AP (more, typically, than pupil place out of McLean for the IB program at Marshall).  There were about 665 students in 8th grade at Longfellow in June 2012 and 545 in 9th grade at McLean in September 2012.
