[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot to be said for the “neighborhood “ angle— even in a place like Vienna. I think it is one of the drawbacks to a Center school. At places like Louise Archt (even though it is a very nice school) parents of kids with multiples get torn between multiple children at different schools. I don’t think the parent community (or PTA) is nearly as active at LAES as it is at Wolftrap or Flint Hill.

Ad to whether a center school is better than lical level IV, that depends a lot on the local school. If your kid comes from a local scool where only 3-5 kids get into AAP each year, they’re not likely to have a strong  Level IV program. But schools like Wolftrap and Flint Hill tend to have 15-30 kids get in each year. That’s enough for a good local program. [/quote]

DS is at Fox Mill, his center school is Oak Hill. The one communication we received from them last year said that there was room for siblings in every grade and they would approve transfers. Clearly some of the Centers are aware that the sibling split is an issue for many parents. [/quote]
