[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, your original post sounds like you want to know which AP school in ALL of FCPS fits your criteria best.  But, unless you are planning on moving, you have to go where FCPS tells you based on your address.  It was my understanding that you can only pick from one AP school, but if, in fact, you can pick from three equadistant schools, that still limits your pool considerably.  People are giving answers such as West Springfield or Falls Church, and those might not be anywhere near you, again, unless you are wiilling to move.

[b]So, why not call your base school and ask them where students go if they wish to do the AP program.[/b]  They might know off the top of their head based on your neighborhood.  And if you can choose from 3 schools, then why not list them on here so people can give you their opinions of those three schools rather than waste time naming schools far away from where you live.[/quote]

PP here -- and I was thinking I should do this, too. So I plan to call the school today. Thank you!

And the AP schools are Falls Church, Lake Braddock, and Woodson. My DS is a science/math kid and is very tech focused, so I am hoping to find an AP school that also offers both AP Computer Science and AP Environmental Science. These would be in addition to the other science/math AP courses.

I found a list of AP classes offered at the AP schools but it looks like it is old (2010-2011):

We may also opt for private (we are looking at the GW Community School). I would prefer that we not have to move!
