The issue isn't really whether Cooper might be overcrowded if the AAP kids in the Langley pyramid go there.  It's how overcrowded Kilmer and Longfellow will be if something isn't done.  In other words, if continuing to send Cooper AAP kids to Kilmer would contribute to a situation where Kilmer is 300 students over capacity in a year or two, the fact that moving those kids back to Cooper might cause Cooper - which has the lowest enrollment today of any middle school in the county - to be 100 students over capacity shouldn't be a deterrent[/b].  Until new schools are built in the Tysons area, there may not be other options.

Obviously, some Cooper parents like the fact that Cooper does not have AAP but, again, so what, if that's where most of the empty seats currently are?[/b] [/quote]

In a nutshell, what is so very wrong with the FCPS attitude...ready to downsize homes and send my kids to private school. It's about quality, not "where the empty seats are"...[/quote]

Cooper would not be only 100 over capacity now ... send back 300 plus kids to an unrenovated building with a modular?  300-141 is 160 approximately over.  And the 140 might fill the modular.  That's like sticking an RV with a bath in the driveway and calling it a 5th bedroom  ensuite. [/quote]
