[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids went to Timber Lane/Longfellow/McLean.  About half of the student body (other side of Lee Highway) go to Luther Jackson and Falls Church.  My kids enjoyed small class sizes (often 20 or fewer kids) and mostly great teachers.  There is a pretty small cohort who move on to Longfellow (only about 30 kids IIRC), so they may find themselves not seeing their ES friends a lot. That was really the only drawback and it wasn't a big deal.  I loved having my young kids in such a diverse environment.

They have local Level IV, but some families choose to have their kids go to Haycock (the same families who think the brown children at TL are gang members).  I knew a few people who found it challenging to arrange weekend play dates due to language barriers with the other students' parents.  We didn't have that problem.

That's not fair to the families that move their kids to Haycock.  There really is something to be said about cohort groups and minimum sustainable class sizes for AAP.

Does Timber Lane have enough kids in their Local Level IV classes?  [/quote]

So this school has a LLIV program at their school and allows kids to go to one of the more highly reputable AAP programs and is inside the beltway and in Mclean right near Falls Church City and is still Title I?[/quote]
