It varies by school but look at the FCPS school profiles. Here is one for Colvin Run Es

Probably between 20-30%. Our school is not center, when asked how many LIV would be in local AAP class, the principal commented that we used to have 5 classes in second grade, and possibly generate 1 class of LIV eligible kids, and not all of them stays. He continued to say that now we only have 3 classes in second grade, so there is impossible to have too many LIV students in local APP class.
Looking at our local school and our center school which made up a two-school AAP zone, out of six class of total second graders, there will be two LIV classes in the center school, so that's 1/3 but I am suspecting the LIV classes in the center school would not be as big as the genEd, so 20%-30% is a good estimate of admission rate. |

| Overall it is something like 14% for 3rd grade up to 20% for 6th grade. (I'm not sure if this includes or excludes Advanced Math.) |

The school profiles will lump all of the K-2 kids into the denominator, making the percentage look lower than it actually is.
It's a few years old, but the AAP equity report shows that around 16% of 2nd graders are admitted, and that 19% of all kids 3rd-8th are centrally designated as eligible, with an extra 7% either being principal placed or taking 4 Honors in middle school. https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/BPLQKV69B096/$file/FCPS%20final%20report%2005.05.20.pdf |

This is a good point. Level IV AAP is only grades 3-6, so you want to figure out the total number of Level IV AAP kids and divide it by the total number of kids in grades 3-6. |

Like if you look at Colvin Run, it says 23.16% of the school is Level IV AAP. But if you run the numbers, Level IV AAP makes up around 38.6% of students in grades 3-6. For center schools, the percentage says 34-35% but that means in grades 3–6, about 50% is Level IV AAP. This shouldn’t be confused with admissions rates. |

At our center school (before and after the rollout of universal LLIV), grades K-2 have 3 classes per grade (some years 4 and occasionally 2) and grades 3-6 have 6 classes per grade of 3 general and 3 AAP (some years 7 total classes per grade and occasionally 5 total per grade). Then some posters will interpret that to mean that 50% of kids are in AAP - but our center school draws from 4-6 other elementary schools. |

| At our school there are three classes and one is LLIV. Very few kids leave for the center, so my guess is 30%. |

It's much more likely a lot of those kids are principal placed, not centrally selected for LIV. |

If you are at a center school from kindergarten, this means that from a kid’s perspective, half of the kids are in AAP. That is not necessarily indicative of FCPS as a whole, but for a kid at a center it will feel like lots of kids are in AAP. This would make me pause on living in a zone with a center school, if I didn’t know my kid will get into AAP. |

I'm finding this very confusing in relation to other threads where kids don't get in with 99 percentile.
I know it's a high SES area but there's no way 30 percent of kids are in 99th percentile at any school. Are we talking any AAP or level IV specifically? |

in middle school, are there separate gen ed and level IV tracks? |
