[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which would be recommended for a 14 yo rising sophomore in arlington? [/quote]

If in the most advance math track, it’s easy and near top of the class, AOPS.  If not RSM better with 3 levels.[/quote]

Either program works. A kid who is on the advanced track in any school will likely test into the Honors class at RSM. AoPS is a different type of program, although I know less about their high school level classes, that some kids that are ahead in math do well in and others don't. DS had no problem with AoPS math last year. He is in Honors for RSM this year and doing just fine. RSM is traditional math at a faster pace then regular math at school. AoPS uses the same concepts but in a more creative way. There are some kids who are good with math who don't do well at AoPS, plenty of parents have posted this in the AAP forum and in other topics here. Plenty of kids understand math but are not able to play with it. There is a smaller percentage of kids who can handle AoPS, which is probably why there are fewer AoPS locations then RSM locations.
