[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Navy's ratings have fallen from 9 to 8.... 
Poplar maintains 9.

We were in a similar situation and decided to go with Poplar when purchasing our home. We've had a great experience so far. No negatives.

- We wanted the AAP experience and felt that Poplar was the right fit for us (not too competitive but still a good mix).

- We factored in the # of schools that feed into Navy (Navy + One other) vs Poplar (Poplar + 3 or 4 others). We liked that Poplar would have a diverse class in that sense.

- Personally, we also liked Poplar Tree (school surroundings/location) more than Navy. We didn't tour the inside by got a good feel by visiting during morning school hours (this was important to me as I wanted to get in out out as quickly as possible).

- Rocky Run was getting renovated (which now seems complete) helped in our decision too.

- Chantilly HS: Heard good things from neighbors that had kids there. Oakton nothing against it, we didn't know anyone going there (those that were slotted ended up in TJ). Heard that commute to TJ is roughly the same but we will cross that bridge if/when we get there.

Hope this helps someone in the future! I'm sure there are several other factors that we didn't consider.
