ES AAP centers

[Anonymous]

Can someone provide a list of current ES AAP centers that are going away. I have heard rumors about this and am looking for confirmation about which schools will no longer be centers. Thanks!

It is on that main list.

Just look for the centers like White Oaks that show arrows moving their students to other places, and none remaining in the end.

No one knows yet as it is simply a recommendation. You can look at the list in the September recommendation and compare it to the current centers to develop your own list.

Thanks for the quick reply. I truly have a tough time reading the list, and don't want to make an incorrect assumption. If someone can read it and then provide a complete list of all affected centers, I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

Crossfield (118) and Fox Mill (70) go to Crossfield, Navy (171) has its own Center, and Mosby Woods (92), Oakton (15) and Waples Mill (164) go to Mosby Woods.

See the AAP Enrollment by Center and Feeder School document for those specifics:

I'm guessing we won't really understand the proposal until the meetings next week.

I agree. It is my understanding that some of the recommended center locations have changed since the first set of data was circulated.

Thanks! You are extremely informed!

A question. My DS is in 5th grade at Crossfield. He is in the LLIV class there, but is center eligible. We chose to leave him at the school he has attended since K, as opposed to moving him. If Crossfield becomes a Center, as proposed, would they still have a LLIV class, or would the two merge? Would this open a can of worms of more children, who are Center eligible, but had previously chosen to attend LLIV, and therefore were not considered in the Center numbers?

Actually, the one thing I have not loved about LLIV is being with the same.exact.group. every year, which is not always ideal, when you want a little social variety, so I would welcome the opportunity for things to be changed up.

Only guessing here as nothing is really known, but I would guess the Local Level IV option would go away for Crossfield. They would not "merge" because the Center has its own placement criteria (AAP Center-eligibility as determined by Central Office) and the Center-eligible students from Fox Mill would join the AAP Center class(es). Since there are currently 22 Center-eligible-and-Center-enrolled students in 5th grade from Crossfield and 15 Center-eligible-and-Center-enrolled students from Fox Mill, there should be two full classes of then-6th-graders in the new Crossfield AAP Center. Now if a few of the students move away (?) then the principal may opt to go with a single AAP Center class of roughly 32 (or so) students.

Of course this depends on what happens with the proposal recommendation.

(You are not alone on your "I wish there were at least two classes to mix things up" point either.)

I'm still interested to hear how the McLean schools like Chesterbrook and some of the other schools like Wolftrap like the combined general ed and local level IV approach. Seems like it really helps to integrate the general ed population in with the AAP population while still teaching to the AAP level.

So the school might lose its local level IV status? Then what happens to the kids who did not qualify for center but were principal placed in local level IV? I guess they get moved back into the general ed classes? Yikes! I wonder if the district has even considered what opening that can of worms will do. Well, you reap what you sow.

Where do you find out how many students leave their base school to enroll at the center school?

From the school principal.

There is old information (from July 2009) posted on BoardDocs.
