My kid wasn't being bullied, but they did have a hard time fitting in at the base school. The center has been a huge improvement socially - they've found their people.
And yes, FCPS boundaries are weird. Our center is only 2 min further than our base (both walkable).

However, the FCPS school profile information makes me lean toward the center. The number of full-time AAP students at my child’s local school is quite low (less than 5% of the total students), indicating that there are more principal placed students.
Which schools?

Adv Math is offered at the majority of schools. I would find out if they have a designated class or cluster model. If they have a designated class, I would keep local. AAP is nothing like it was even last year.
