[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unrenovated Cooper appears to be the only school that would be bricks and mortar overcapacity if all AAP was at the base schools.  Do any other middle schools in northern Fairfax County have a modular as a long term capacity solution? Cooper is 141 under.

The dashboard shows:
Longfellow transfer in AAP 103
Cooper transfer out AAP 326=103 from Mclean zipcodes to Longfellow + 226 from Great Falls/Vienna/Reston/Herndon area to Kilmer
Kilmer transfer in AAP 244=226 from Cooper
Jackson transfer in AAP 83
Thoreau transfer out AAP 101=83 to Jackson and 18 to Kilmer
Herndon transfer out AAP 42
Hughes transfer in AAP 44

I wonder whether the dashboard numbers are correct (as reported by FCPS, not by you).

I ask because they show Longfellow as having 555 AAP students with 103 out-of-boundary transfers.  That leaves 452 students whose base schools are Longfellow and McLean.  The dashboard numbers also show 326 transfers out of Cooper for AAP, and the Cooper/Langley boundaries overlap.  It seems odd to me that the McLean pyramid would have that many more AAP students than the Langley pyramid, unless [b]there are currently a large number of AAP-eligible students in the Langley pyramid who decide to stay at Cooper rather than go to Kilmer or Longfellow[/b].  [You can't do a similar analysis for Kilmer, because it's a split feeder to Marshall and Madison, and gets some Cooper/Langley students for AAP].[/quote]

There are a lot of AAP kids who choose to attend Cooper rather than go to Kilmer or Longfellow.  Cooper is a great middle school.[/quote]
