Navy, GBW, Oak Hill, Lees Corner are all great schools.

Has any of the current families seen Navy becoming better school after turning into an AAP center?

Has the level of instructions or teachers changed after AAP?

So Crossfield is the only Oakton school that goes to Rachel Carson? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Navy --> Franklin --> Oakton
Waples Mill --> Franklin--> Oakton
Crossfield--> Rachel Carson--> Oakton

I thought Crossfield also went to Franklin and then Oakton. Any others? We're looking in the same area too.

I am thinking about buying house in Navy area. I would appreciate any positive/negative feedback.

Thanks.

Didn't the SOL tests get harder last year? I think being an AAP center, the scores will only go up if that's your worry.

Oak Hill has an amazing principal and I've heard great things about the school.

Dude, this is a 2yr old thread -- any data that PP had is outdated.
BTW, Navy will now be an AAP center.

PP, did you do any research? I'm considering buying a house at Navy elementary.

Not that my son will start at Navy until 2013, but now I have to go digging. Of course part of the reason we purchased in this area was due to Navy Elementary. One thing I did notice when checking elementary schools in the area is that Navy has no G/T program (at least a year ago I didn't see one) nor did they have full day Kindergarten although the other 3 schools in the area did. I think the kindergarten thing has changed this year but I had no idea about the scores.

Off to do my research now.

That wouldn't explain the drop b/c the drop is comparing the third grade scores in the 2009-10 school year with the third grade scores in the 2010-11 school year. Neither group includes the kids who were sent to AAP.
