[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, tell us your base school and we can give you a lot more information. [/quote]

Base school Shrevewood, which has local Level IV services
Center School Lemon Road

I'm inclined to keep my child at Shrevewood for the reasons the PP cited.  Was just curious as to the distinction.[/quote]

RUN, don't walk, to Lemon Road. Their new principal is amazing![/quote]

100% agree, but I hear great things about the new 3rd grade AAP teacher at Shrevewood. If she stays, then I'd keep my kid there. But Shrevewood has a crazy high turnover rate and is overcrowded. Also, FYI, the AAP classes are now the [b]largest[/b] in every grade level at Shrevewood. So if that matters to you then keep an open mind at the LR orientation.[/quote]

Just curious - who is the 3rd grade AAP teacher?  Are you talking about teacher turnover?  I've noticed a lot of teachers get re-assigned to new grades, but only a handful leave.  I think most schools are experiencing overcrowding these days, unfortunately.[/quote]

Teacher turnover rate is much more than a handful.   AAP classes are very large this year, a departure from the past.   Really consider Lemon Road.[/quote]

Shrevewood parent here.  I understand our school (as well as others) are experiencing overcrowding as the entire NOVA region is booming.  Someone else referenced possible redistricting, which could be good as I know there are several students at the school who live as far away as Gallows Rd.  We are within a 1/2 mile, so I think we would remain.  There are other considerations for our child's overall well being; he loves Shrevewood, has friends, and is in the SACC program which we would have to get on a waitlist for at Lemon Road.  My initial question was in trying to understand the distinction between the local level IV vs. center.  Thanks.[/quote]

10:01 - earlier Shrevewood poster here. If your son gets into AAP, you will be invited to attend the AAP sessions at both Lemon Road and Shrevewood. Go to both - you will also likely know other parents. As for SACC, your son can stay in SACC at Shrevewood even if he attends Lemon Road. They bus the afternoon SACC kids over to Shrevewood before the Shrevewood kids get there. If you do a search, you will see that the Shrevewood/Lemon Road AAP decision was discussed in detail last year.
