how many kids are in AAP %agewise? do they mix at lunch recess specials?

science, and social studies

These may be harder because I think a lot of schools (not just centers) do these as block. So math/science are often the same teacher and in the same schedule block and language arts/social studies are often the same teacher and in the same schedule block.

Maybe, but there are schools that do this. Some schools even have more of a middle school setup where teachers rotate subjects and one teacher teaches all the math and another teaches all the science and other grades even have combination classes. So there are a lot of different setups. I like the idea of the kids mixing for some academic classes to expose all children to higher level thinking at some point during the day. I think all children are capable at different levels of doing AAP level work and I think it helps the general ed children to have some exposure to the thoughts of some of the AAP students and vice versa. Some of the smartest kids in my DC's class didn't get into AAP probably because they're just not as into academics at this stage in their lives and their schoolwork reflects this.

I'm not sure centers do this because they have enough kids for full classrooms. Local level VI do this, at base schools that have a lever VI program.
