If you are the OP of the Bull Run thread, I was wondering if VRES was your base. I commented in that thread and VRES is our base. All of the teachers I have encountered at both schools have been good teachers that I have been happy with. Bull Run offers more in advanced math, has a chess club, and I like the admin at Bull Run. Virginia Run was a better school in past years but has been declining a little it seems. No knock on the teachers though.
Thanks. Not the OP on the other thread, actually.

+1. Accurate assessment. The admin and advanced math make the switch to Bull Run worth it.

My kid is a 2nd grader, quite advanced academically, and kind of a social butterfly. Not worried about the ability to adapt but whether it worths going to a center given it’s a few miles further, which requires one more hour on the bus everyday. Would appreciate any advice and insights about either school’s AAP program. Cheers!

AAP in MS means nothing if the MS is already all Honors. I had twins at Longfellow, one in AAP, one in Honors(but accelerated In Math) they had the exact same assignments, read same novels, had the same projects. They were on the same team. Perhaps the AAP kid had a due date a few days before the other or was graded a bit harder on a few assignments and AAP kid got to take home guppies from science... no huge difference in MS for us.Anonymous wrote:And yet they all end up in the same AAP classes in middle school. Are local level IV kids then failing classes in MS?

Opinions on Poplar Tree or Greenbrier West? Both are Centers, I believe. Trying to decide which district in which to move, hopefully for future AAP.

I suppose an advantage of AAP centers over LLIV is if you are planning to move. As AAP centers typically have higher ratings, you get a much greater school boundary to choose from and you might get a cheaper house while still attending a good school.
