AAP vs Honors in MS

[Anonymous]

Moving into FCPS for 7th grade next year. What is difference between AAP and Honors classes? Is one preferred for applying to TJ?

AAP requires a student to have been accepted into the AAP level IV program.

Honors is the same set of standards but is open enrollment, so generally has to move a bit slower/drop a few extensions compared to AAP. Depends a bit on the school and how strict they are with pushing kids towards appropriate class levels.

They can't be strict because that can't override a students choosing honors no matter how appropriate the non-honors track is for that student

Which you pick makes no difference for TJ.
Difference is the peer group in the classes and as PP noted rhe more homogenous AAP grouping allows for faster or deeper work
