[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all those parents who can't wait for AAP kids from Shrevewood, Lemon Rd, Westgate, Franklin Sherman... to leave, have you considered why Haycock is considered such a good school?  Haycock is our base school and I'm perfectly happy with the education there.  But I believe the reason why Haycock has such a good rep is b/c of the unusally large number of AAP kids, not b/c its principal, teachers or facility is so much better than any other FFX Co school.  It just has a huge AAP population (3 to 4 AAP classes per grade compared to 2 Gen Ed classes).  So it just makes sense that the more AAP kids you have at a school, the better the test scores, better standing in academic competitions etc... hence the better overall reputation.  I don't think Haycock is doomed if these kids leave, but I do believe eventually if you bring the number of AAP kids down, it will be no worse or better than any other Center school. [/quote]

Bye bye Haycock, hello lower test scores on [i]your [/i]profile!  And your average and below average "base" kids whose parents bought in McLean can stick together at Haycock in their regular or remedial classes while my AAP DD goes elsewhere.   :lol:
