[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
We need to move either way because the home we are in now can’t accommodate our family.

I’m thankful for everyone’s insights about all the schools. We weren’t sure if we should use this as an opportunity to reevaluate our pyramid due to what we’ve heard from neighbors.

I hadn’t considered the AAP aspect. Our 2 kiddos are both AAP and our zoned school is our center school so with Langley pyramid we could potentially keep the same friend group throughout their education.
I didn’t realize Madison was so messy for AAP. I wonder if all the split feeding will be addressed with all these new boundary changes?[/quote]

I don’t think there’s anyway to know if FCPS will address the split feeder situation at Madison until they come out with boundary proposals later this year.

In theory they could have aligned Madison’s boundaries with Thoreau’s and Marshall’s boundaries with Kilmer a few years ago and made both schools AAP centers, but they went in an opposite direction by expanding Thoreau’s boundaries to include areas that also feed to Oakton while keeping Jackson as an AAP center.  So that would require a lot of changes to simplify now.

In general you’d find Madison families roll with it and are happy as long as their kids end up at Madison. Lots of kids attend the AAP centers at Kilmer and Jackson, but there’s less of a focus on AAP and TJ generally than in the Langley and McLean pyramids. [/quote]
