[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think so many smart kids left for private that this is a very easy year to get into level IV.[/quote]

No, I don't agree with that at all, not my experience this year.  [/quote]I don't agree with that either. Wow...[/quote]

It's a fact that the county lost 9,000 students.  Do you think these were low ses kids?  Nope.  Do you think they are all homeschooled?  Nope.  The applications for private schools were tripled in some cases.  If there are less in the pool competing for AAP, then it will be easier for those in the pool to get in.  [/quote]

They were mostly kindergartners.  Sure, some 2nd and 3rd graders may have left for private or homeschool, but not many.[/quote]

I live in a decent income neighborhood in Vienna (most people making 200k or more) and I don't know a single kid in my children's 2nd or 5th grade classes that left for private. I do know that our next door neighbor did the opposite and switched from private to public despite the fact that the private was in person and public was remote learning. I'm sure some people have switched to private but there's just no way it had a substantial impact on AAP admissions. Wishful thinking from a private school parent, perhaps[/quote]

No dog in this fight but we are leaving fcps and have not advertised it.  Don’t need kids being anxious about it when fall is months away, and don’t want weirdness with neighbors.  So I think people are leaving but quietly[/quote]
