By FCPS. Batch email at noon, plus mass text to enrolling parent. |
Anyone know if all the notices went out today? My kid is right on the cusp, so I won’t be surprised either way. |
Yes. Unfortunately if you did not get the mass notification, DC didn’t make the cutoff for their school. I would still refer if I were you becuase you miss all shots you don’t take. Deadline is coming so really you have tmrw and this weekend to prepare the submission on Monday. |
How do you know it’s 10% of the school? There are 60 2nd grader in my school. Are you saying we are one of the 6 kids who got the notification? |
The 10% per school is publicly released information. It was also shared at the info session for level 4. |
I don't think it's 10% students at every school. My understanding is it is top 10% scorers. |
That makes more sense since the email was sent by FCPS |
No. It is 10% per school. FCPS used to do the top 10% countywide but changed it to 10% per school. This was a change to get more kids from lower performing schools into AAP. |
No, FCPS identifies the top 10% per school. |
I'm not questioning it's 10% per school. It's the top 10% scorers in each school. Not 10% of the student body. |
No it’s 10% of the second grade student body. |
That makes no sense. We have about 80 kids in our centre school. Are you saying only 8 kids will get the in pool notification? |
Yes. That is why the scores needed to get in-pool are so much higher for certain competitive schools than others. |
Yes. AAP is designed to be a program for those kids who "may not have an academic peer group" in their current school. That means it's relative to the current school only and the performance of other students at that school (not nationally, and not countywide). By that logic they are choosing to pull out 10% from each school. |
