Actually, the one thing I have not loved about LLIV is being with the same.exact.group. every year, which is not always ideal, when you want a little social variety, so I would welcome the opportunity for things to be changed up.

Only guessing here as nothing is really known, but I would guess the Local Level IV option would go away for Crossfield. They would not "merge" because the Center has its own placement criteria (AAP Center-eligibility as determined by Central Office) and the Center-eligible students from Fox Mill would join the AAP Center class(es). Since there are currently 22 Center-eligible-and-Center-enrolled students in 5th grade from Crossfield and 15 Center-eligible-and-Center-enrolled students from Fox Mill, there should be two full classes of then-6th-graders in the new Crossfield AAP Center. Now if a few of the students move away (?) then the principal may opt to go with a single AAP Center class of roughly 32 (or so) students.

Of course this depends on what happens with the proposal recommendation.

(You are not alone on your "I wish there were at least two classes to mix things up" point either.)

Crossfield (118) and Fox Mill (70) go to Crossfield, Navy (171) has its own Center, and Mosby Woods (92), Oakton (15) and Waples Mill (164) go to Mosby Woods.

See the AAP Enrollment by Center and Feeder School document for those specifics:
