[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the Franklin Sherman area is pretty expensive, I'd also consider that school.  It's small, like Vienna ES in Vienna, and very friendly.   They have a fair number of speical needs kids there, and that tends to create an environment [b]where not everyone is super academically intense, expected to be gunning for TJ,[/b] etc.   The families I know there are very happy.

If AAP parents are that scary, I'd avoid any Vienna or Falls Church schools feeding into Kilmer. too, and maybe look at Vienna schools that feed into Thoreau.   Of course, as Kilmer gets more crowded, FCPS may end up opening a center at Thoreau, too.  [/quote]

This is the reverse of why we were so happy when DD finished elementary school at a center school (she was Gen Ed).  She went on to Cooper, a great non-center middle school and it was [u]wonderful[/u] having no AAP center there!  In fact, lots of her friends who had been in AAP chose to go to Cooper because they were tired of AAP and just wanted to be in their community school.  DD is taking honors classes and couldn't be happier.[/quote]
