[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were in the Marshall pyramid but not Shrevewood and my impression was that there was more grumpiness at Shrevewood than at some of the Marshall feeders but people were generally happy.  The grumpiness seemed to relate to the following:

* People didn't like one of the prior principals (not the current one, who seems well-liked).

* People were angry that the AAP kids from Shrevewood attending an AAP center got shuffled from Haycock to Lemon Road.

* People were upset that FCPS was slow to deal with the pre-Covid overcrowding when some areas that feed into Shrevewood are closer to Stenwood.

* There have been grumblings about the relative size of the Gen Ed and LLIV classes at various times.

* People know the boundaries are going to get adjusted in a few years when Karl Frisch's silly Dunn Loring school opens (though this is more of an issue for Stenwood and Freedom Hill than Shrevewood).

Maybe I missed something but those were the main things I heard.  The neighborhoods that feed into Shrevewood like Falls Hill are very nice and there's good access to the W&OD trail (just avoid the areas right under the power lines).  [/quote]

I have a child at Shrevewood who has been there since 2016. There was a new principal two years ago and he is an improvement over his predecessor.  The transfer from Haycock to Lemon Road as the AAP center happened years ago, so that is not an issue. Some families that live near Gallows Rd may eventually be zoned for Stenwood but I think that is a few years away (not sure where the house is you're looking at). There was a disparity in class sizes between AAP (level IV) and GE but the new clustering model has remedied that.  Some AAP parents are mixed on the new clustering model; as our DC is in the final year it is not really an issue for us. GE parents love that their child is getting exposed to AAP education models (albeit at a slower pace).[/quote]
