2019 is still 6 years away, after Cooper will be way over capacity. Kilmer and Longfellow are already renovated, and have strong AAP programs.
As far as all McLean public schools having AAP... my older child (otherwise Cooper, now Langley) had a great experience at Kilmer, now has friends at 3 high schools (Langley, Madison, Marshall). It was great to have a short break from the social cutthroat McLean environment.

Anonymous wrote:the Dashboard predictions are completely wrong. Transferring AAP students to Cooper will put them over greater capacity than Kilmer/Longfellow. Plus there is no scheduled renovation for Cooper. And no AAP teachers with more than a bare minimum FCPS teaching certificate (principal plans 2 gen ed/3 aap classes per teacher, so it's "legal")
so my DS gets to be in the growing pains, guinea pig group for the next two years. I think they should develop the program before a transfer. Guess life's not fair.
