[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that people don't trust Cooper to provide appropriate AAP options for their children.  If this is the case though, you may simply have to move to be within the smaller Longellow AAP boundaries.

I don't always trust the schools to provide the best education for my children, but I work with the school/teachers to improve things.  I would hope the Cooper parents would be willing to do the same.

We can't keep having overcrowded schools because Longfellow/Kilmer are where many want their children to go.

What complicates this is that the enrollment at Langley is also declining, yet FCPS plans to build an addition there as part of Langley's renovation.  So there will be pressure to assign current Kilmer/Marshall and Longfellow/McLean neighborhoods to Cooper/Langley independent of the AAP decisions.

That may be needed if the enrollments at Marshall and McLean keep growing at their current rate, but the Cooper/Langley boundaries are already enormous.  If people can't afford or don't want to live in Great Falls because it's too expensive or too far away from their jobs, I wish FCPS would just let the enrollments stay small and build new schools (or expand the capacity) closer to where people now live.
