Please don't send your child to Forest Edge. The administration especially the principal runs it like a dictatorship. This year alone 31 of the 53 staff is leaving, had left or put on administrative leave. The best teachers are gone especially the 4th grade AAP teacher was a major reason why a lot of parents sent their kids here. So many families are leaving including us.

I think people buying homes in the Langley pyramid are paying a lot to have that pyramid and probably not as likely to send DC outside of it . . .

Oh they have multiple AAP classes? That's very interesting, looks like most folks don't opt to go to Forest Edge and stay back at Forestville.

Stay at Forestville! My kid's teacher at Forest Edge AAP Center was not that good, although the administration and office staff there I liked. But it's the specific teacher, that your child gets, who has the most influence on your kid's everyday life. In our case, the experience was not great. Perhaps, you could be more lucky.

The difference in "rating" can be explained quite easily: socio-economics are very tightly correlated with test scores. Forest Edge has more poor students who score lower. Your kid is in AAP and will do fine wherever she goes.
