[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot to be said for the “neighborhood “ angle— even in a place like Vienna. I think it is one of the drawbacks to a Center school. At places like Louise Archt (even though it is a very nice school) parents of kids with multiples get torn between multiple children at different schools. I don’t think the parent community (or PTA) is nearly as active at LAES as it is at Wolftrap or Flint Hill.

Ad to whether a center school is better than lical level IV, that depends a lot on the local school. If your kid comes from a local scool where only 3-5 kids get into AAP each year, they’re not likely to have a strong  Level IV program. But schools like Wolftrap and Flint Hill tend to have 15-30 kids get in each year. That’s enough for a good local program. [/quote]

This may not be the case at all center schools, but the parent community at LAES is as much if not more involved than Wolftrap and Flint Hill. Same for Westbriar. Center schools tend to be larger schools and can often get more funding and parental support. Center parents also typically not the type of parents that don't get involved in schools.[/quote]
