[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who looked closely in the area several years ago, and did a lot of research, here are my overall recommendations:

1.  Spring Hill - Nice building in a good location across from the county's Spring Hill rec center.  The AAP-eligible kids from the school tend to stay there, even though they could attend Churchill Road, which speaks well of the school.  Can get crowded.

2.  Great Falls - On the smaller side, friendly atmosphere, with the added plus of a Japanese immersion program for those interested.

3.  Churchill Road - Best location if you want to be close to Cooper and Langley, and an AAP center, but a high percentage of those in the area send their kids to privates.  Enrollment hasn't really recovered from Covid.

4.  Colvin Run - Doesn't seem to have strong leadership, more tension between AAP and Gen Ed families than at most center schools.  Got the impression some of the Great Falls parents really don't like their kids having to cross Route 7 to attend a school in Vienna.

5.  Forestville - The school itself seemed fine, but the location was a negative - it's pretty far out towards Loudoun and closer to Herndon than Cooper/Langley.  Very long commute if you stick around for MS/HS.

HTH.  [/quote]

How did you do your research?  Colvin Run has a very strong administration and the principal is terrific.  The only AAP/gen ed tension I heard about was on DCUM (and all of my kids were gen ed).  There are no walkers that cross Route 7 (unless they want to) -- they are eligible for the bus.  I have nothing but praise for Colvin Run![/quote]
