[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the difference is that Rachel Carson's AAP enrollment has grown faster than Longfellow's and now has 150 more students than Longfellow.  I don't know if Longfellow's drop in TJ admissions last year was a fluke or a sign that it is now in decline or a sign that the rest of the county is leveling out.[/quote]

Maybe that's good news for those who worry about some schools being too "AAP-centric."  The AAP population at Rocky Run in Chantilly, which tied last year with Longfellow for the second highest number of kids admitted to TJ after Carson, is over 50% of the total enrollment.  That's not the case at Longfellow.

The people who want to crap on Longfellow will do so no matter what.  If a lot of Longfellow kids get into TJ, they'll start a thread denouncing Longfellow as a "pressure-cooker" where everyone wants to go to TJ.  If fewer Longfellow kids get into TJ, they'll start a thread asking whether the school is in "decline."  Even so, if you read some of the other recent threads, it's clear most people are happy with Longfellow and continue to want to send their kids there. [/quote]

According to this,

Longfellow is over 53% Level IV. [/quote]

Sooner or later you're going to stop posting broken links.

FCPS identifies 554 of Longfellow's 1330 students as Local Level IV/Center students as of January 2014.  It identifies Rocky Run as having 528 Local Level IV/Center students out of 1091 students as of January 2014.  Both are now under 50%, although Rocky Run, but not Longfellow, was over 50% at various times last year.  You can find this information on the monthly membership reports below:

Probably a lot more Asian kids at Rocky Run vice Longfellow.[/quote]
