How hard is it to get into AAP?

Probably harder for your kids to get in if they were geniuses. Bright, curious, likely white child of Ivy League-educated parents: sounds like pretty typical AAP student.

Hmmm.

In our cluster, the AAP classes reflect the racial make up of the feeder schools as a whole, with a little more skewing towards minority.

So very true. Keep this fact in mind and you will realize it is not the stressful event that this board would lead you to believe.

Then you probably need to get out more. It's come up at school board meetings and in conversations I've had with AAP teachers and our local AART's. It's been a fairly common topic of conversation for a few years now.

Pray that both kids get in. Unless one is an outliner, having kids in different programs will establish life-long resentment.

Its not that hard. There is a lot of idle talk on this board. Definitely appeal if you do not get in. Anything over WISC 126 will get in.

You may need to appeal for 2. For some reason they have a one per family thing.

Never heard the one per family thing. In our school, there are plenty of sibling both in and not in Aap.

Only if the parents imply or state that one is inferior to the other

---- parent of kids at aap and non-aap

Not at all! my non aap kid does not want to go to aap, but understands that she is qualified to go and could handle it. We don't believe that aap attendance makes anyone superior to anyone else.

Everyone knows about the "prepping controversy". It's common knowledge and just one reason AAP itself has become so controversial.

Everyone at Haycock and surrounding schools knows about the "prepping controversy". It's common knowledge and just one reason AAP itself has become so controversial.

By middle school there are honors classes. By high school everyone can take the same classes. If AAP creates "life-long resentment," your child has bigger self esteem issues that need to be dealt with.

Of the 27 schools with AAP Centers

the "prepping controversy" occurs at Haycock, Greenbriar West and *maybe* Churchill Road.
