[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all the comments, they've been very helpful.

It seems LJ is more academically intense, which to me makes sense since it AAP center designation probably makes the AAP curriculum a high priority and core mission.

I had heard Thoreau was building up their AAP offerings, maybe they aren't quite at the LJ level of intensity and maybe that's not their intention?  Or are they quickly closing the gap?

We aren't too wrapped into the Vienna scene or and our daughter isn't team sports focused, and aren't necessarily going for the most intense AAP program possible.  The social aspect of going to Madison and not knowing alot of the other kids is a big consideration for us assuming Thoreau has a perfectly fine AAP program.  But what I'm hearing is it may be close but not quite there yet?  She is very advanced in math and to be with other peers that are academically advanced would be good for her in our view.[/quote]

If your D.C. Is very advanced in math, is she considering applying to TJ?  If so, that should make your decision for you. LJ just has a better track record on admissions. [/quote]

Neither LJ nor Thoreau sends many kids to TJ compared to Carson, Longfellow, Rocky Run or Kilmer.[/quote]
