If your kid is Level II for math they will get pullout work in a small group with classroom teacher (at our school) that is harder than rest of class assignments.

In reading, more of a crapshoot. Basically they are in the top reading group.

What are the subject areas considered? Does AAP level II applies only to explicitly identified subjects per student? e.g., only advanced math

I believe LII is provided in Math and Reading. That is what our child received. I don't think that there is anything for Social Studies and Science.

Very much depends on the school. For us, it meant pretty much nothing.

It means your kid is doing better than average. Honestly.

My kid got Level II service in first and second grades. I tried to find out what it was and got the generic answer of "oh she's getting more challenging material than the rest of the class."

My kid (center AAP) was in for reading but besides mentioning it on report card, I dont think we ever knew what it really did!
Maybe ability to select adv. book but that was always the case.

It generally means that your child is in a reading group that is using above grade level materials. Your child most likely had a DRA at the beginning of the year that is higher than the end of year benchmark for the grade.
