[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just find the place that you can afford, has a decent commute and works for your family in terms of size & amenities.

Where the AAP center is located is waaaaaay down the list of priorities here. [/quote]

You'll find that in most schools in this area, the kids are coming from parents that have college and advanced degrees.  First priority is finding what you can afford and what you like to live in (i..e both inside quality of home and outside the home amenities), then commute (pick a location that is reasonable for where you are going -- I haven't heard you mention anything about where the job(s) are located), and then pick a good school.  Sounds like your child will qualify for AAP.  If you get a rental contract now and then submit the previous test scores to FCPS right away this summer, they can give you an answer on AAP and your child can start in the right school from the first day of class (thus avoiding a mid year change or change after one year).

You are really over thinking this.  I know it's hard to believe, but kids who don't do AAP are fully prepared to rock-it in high school and get scholarships (even full ride) for college.  Seriously, AAP is nice, but it is not the end all be all.  [/quote]
