[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of gossip about AAP being "dismantled". [b]We are looking for a house[/b] and had hoped DC might get into AAP.

If there's no more AAP, what happens to the quality of instruction at the local and center schools? [/quote]
With or without AAP, there will be substantial number of students who will exhaust all honors courses and go on to pursue dual enrollment courses.  It's foolish for equity crazies to go after AAP/TJ, with the hope of stopping the top students from learning more.  FCPS does not control what the student learns, students do.  Unless they can somehow eliminate every available learning resource outside school, such as banning Khan Academy or restrict access to libraries or similar nonsense, the idea of constraining an advanced student's learning remains wishful thinking.[/quote]
If you are looking for house, safe bet would be McLean, Langley, or Oakton attendance boundaries.  [/quote]

Our family income is well above the median household income and we are both well educated, yet could not afford in McLean or Langley and lately all I'm seeing for SFHs in Oakton are tear downs for 850k (our budget is slightly higher currently, with mortgage rates as they are). Could it really be that the only reliably good public schools are in such wealthy districts? [/quote]
You need to get a good realtor. We are inlower than median household income, and we chose a Langley neighborhood. For us our kids education is a priority over a lavish house. Ymmv. [/quote]

I am the same (or similar)  but could not buy a shack in Langley in order to get into that pyramid. Besides, do you really think the academics are superior? How much is really the school vs your influence? [/quote]
