Precisely. Thank you for illustrating my point.

But it is not. See the statistics posted as follow up materials to the July 2013 School Board meeting.

But it is. Stats from a couple of recent years don't tell the whole story. How many new AAP centers are they opening to reduce overcrowding? If you build it they will come. I predict those will become as crowded as the ones they replaced. It's much easier for principals to allow additional AAP students who are at the margin if there's the perception that there's room.

Absolutely true.

Absolutely true.

One of the goals for these new Local Level IV Centers is to provide access to the AAP curriculum to students that would otherwise not have such access.

then why not offer AAP to everyone?

or put local level IV in every school?

It makes sense when there is critical mass and there are no negative consequences on a Level IV Center school.

What is the goal of center schools in areas in which all the feeder schools already have large populations of LLIV students? Why is there such an overlap in services?

Precisely. But don't hold your breath waiting for an answer that actually makes sense.

Because not all schools in all areas of the county have 2 or more classes full of AAP eligible students. What works in one zip code does not necessarily work in another zip code.

Then FCPS should take that into account when deciding which schools will have center access and which won't. Better yet, make all schools have LLIV and turn "centers" back into neighborhood schools.

No, they very clearly don't. Check out Colvin Run (center) and its feeder schools. There is no need for those schools to bus their AAP kids to a center.

My apologies -- I did not boldface for you the comment that I was responding to.

It was this one.

What works for one part of the county does not necessarily work for all parts of the county. At the same time, all students should have access to services and access should not depend upon one's zip code.

Then people complain about unequal services in the county.

Then forget the center model and make LLIV available in all schools. Easy solution and no more extra busing to pay for.
