My numbers may be off (I said it was rough guess), but Chantilly is smack in the middle of a huge pool of TJ students. Also, no one in Carson is zoned for South Lakes. A few pupil place for IB. Leaving aside Lees Corner (those kids 25 may stay LLIV and go to Franklin) Oak Hill is a significant center, and sends nearly 100 kids to Carson for AAP, which is 25% of the class, and I think a couple of other ESs are that feed to Carson are zoned Chantilly. And Rocky Run is Chantilly pyramid, and the big/ one of the biggest feeders (It's a half mile away). If even 55 or 60 Chantilly kids go to TJ, you're talking about the top 10% of the class (or half of the top 20%, because not every bright kid wants to go to TJ). It makes sense. Lot's of parents buy houses in this zone specifically to position kids for TJ by sending them to a TJ feeder MS (2 families w/MS kids on my street alone). I'm not saying it makes Chantilly better-- I like the IB model. But it is a big talent drain. [/quote]

If people are gaming it out to this degree, it is time for TJ to close.

OP, I prefer AP.  However, both Robinson and Chantilly are great schools.  Go where your commute and family life will be best.

If gaming it out requires living in that area, that's a bridge too far.[/quote]
