[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Thoreau is a very nice school which would greatly benefit from Level IV AAP. There are plenty of students there in Honors who could easily qualify for AAP, or already have.[/quote]

Quite a few students from Archer AAP declined the Jackson offer. AAP Archer to Jackson= 1/2 of the sixth grade: 4 classes.[/quote]

If those students from Archer AAP declined the Jackson offer and are happy at Thoreau, then let them continue to attend Thoreau.   Don't take the freedom of choice from those who want to attend a bigger and better AAP Center at Luther Jackson.  Luther Jackson has enjoyed a bigger AAP Center the last couple of years and have enjoyed a success for their enrichment activities such as Science Olympiad and Mathcount programs.  They've done very well at Science Olympiad the last couple of years coming in 4th place behind the power houses of Longfellow, Kilmer, and Lake Braddock last year.  If you can draw from a bigger pool of AAP students then you can have successful enrichment programs.  I noticed that not many non AAP kids were interested in joining enrichment activities.  Science Olympiad only had 1 non-AAP student in the Science Olympiad team last year.   AAP kids will lose out if they make every middle schools an AAP Center!  If AAP kids are happy at Thoreau then let them stay there.  Don't take the choice away from other AAP kids![/quote]

Jackson will lose out.  Thoreau will have the programs, as the programs will follow the Vienna kids who will attend thoreau[/quote]

Yes Jackson will lose out .  The school is doing great since becoming an AAP Center.  Don't let it fall back into a mediocre school.  FCPS only needs to solve the ES overcrowding issues and don't need to touch MS AAP Center.  Leave MS AAP Center the way it is.  [/quote]
