I think they are pretty close to indistinguishable but 99% of frost feeds into Woodson and I think Luther Jackson gets spilt up
If it was me, then all other things being equal, I would choose frost.
Frost's base boundaries are the same as Woodson's but it gets some AAP kids from the Annandale pyramid.
Jackson's base boundaries feed entirely to Falls Church but it gets some AAP kids from the Oakton and Madison pyramids.

What do you mean "the majority immigrant school"? They don't track immigration status, and Jackson is far from the only MS in FCPS with a lot of low-income kids.

You’re now responding to a post from January 2024. The OP has likely made a decision by now.
