[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shift in preference won't all happen in one year, particularly given the timing of the decision this year.  It will manifest itself over a longer period, but the end result is that the LJ AAP program won't be as strong as it was, and the Thoreau LLIV program will be comparable to an AAP center.

If the posters claiming this will have no impact on the AAP program at LJ can point to a single instance where FCPS kids who had a choice between an AAP center at a high-poverty school and a comparable LLIV program at a low-poverty school primarily or overwhelmingly opted for the AAP center, because it was called a "center" and had a longer track record as such, I'd be very interested.  It certainly won't involve a middle school AAP program, and the situations at the elementary school level seem to point in the opposite direction.  For example, there aren't many Floris ES AAP kids attending the AAP center at lower-income McNair ES, or kids from Silverbrook ES attending the AAP center at lower-income Lorton Station ES.   It does look like a fair number of Clermont ES kids attend the AAP center at lower-income Springfield Estates ES, so that arguably portends well for Jackson, but that seems to be more the exception than the rule (and even that may change now that Clermont offers LLIV).

This. It's not rocket science. It's obvious.[/quote]
