[quote=Anonymous]We made the decision to pass on White Oaks. I think a few things went into the choice.

First, I looked at the school's SOL performance/pass advance performance and it tracked right where Laurel Ridge was despite being an AAP center. I don't know why that was, particularly in math, but I found that troubling.

Second, I didn't like that it was a Lake Braddock feeder. We live walking distance to Robinson and our plan was always to do honors in middle and let the kids to K-12 as walkers. I didn't like the bus and the whole split feeder thing turned me off since we live closer to Woodson (so we can't pupil place to Lake Braddock and do a single transition).

Third, my kids LOVED their experience at Laurel Ridge. It really is a gem of a place and the teachers, admin, parent community are so tight nit that I couldn't see pulling my kids out of it.

Fourth, my kids all got accelerated math. They do offer one section of compacted math. I didn't feel I was missing out on that.[/quote]
