[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another question--do you know how many kids go on from Jackson AAP to Marshall HS?  From what I'm reading, it seems as if most of them go to Falls Church or Madison.  I hate to tear her away from her friends, have her make new friends, then 2 years later, tear her away again if she's the only one who goes to Marshall.  Kilmer seems pretty well split between Madison and Marshall, while Thoreau seems to be predominantly Madison-bound kids, with a small subset headed to Marshall.[/quote]

I don't know the numbers but most AAP kids at Jackson go to Madison or Falls Church.  Some also go to Oakton and, of course, TJ, but it looks like only a few go to Marshall unless they pupil place there for IB.  I expect some of the kids in your daughter's situation (I'm inferring that you're at either Vienna or Cunningham Park, but zoned for Jackson AAP and Marshall) end up pupil placing to Madison because they have more friends going there than to Marshall, but you just have to play it by ear.

As for Kilmer, the base boundaries are about a 70/30 split between Marshall and Madison, but many of the AAP kids are from Great Falls and go to Langley.  Thoreau is about an 80/20 split between Madison and Marshall. [/quote]
