What percentage of the of all FCPS 3rd graders are accepted into 3rd grade AAP each year?

[Anonymous]

I keep reading all kinds of different information on forums. Some people say 40% (which sounds doubtful) others say 10%, and everything in between. Are the actual statistics that show what percentage of ALL incoming 3rd graders last school year end up in the AAP program? My DC is in the program, just curious.

It's something like 15%. People like to say its 40% b/c in some schools it IS! But, across the board, it's in the low to mid teens. Someone on here will have the links to stats.

Any info as to which schools hit the 40% acceptance mark?

Any of the schools in McLean, Great Falls, or Vienna. Guaranteed.

Well, I'm at a school in Vienna, and you're 100% wrong. The high percentage of kids accepted refers to those in the pool who are accepted. For example, you'll often hear 60% or so of kids in the pool are accepted. At our Vienna center school 10% of kids across the board were accepted. That was approximately 2-3 kids per class.

Basic math:

Total # of 3d graders divided by 3d grade LIV AAP = ~15%

...so 15% AAP and 85% GenEd. This is across the FCPS system.

The ratio, by school will vary, perhaps by a lot, but raw data is not available (that I've seen) to figure it out.

The 40% number is generally attributed to the center schools. The feeder school kids go to the center so the centers "share" goes up and the feeders go down.

The percentages of: In Pool-accepted vs. in-pool not accepted and the percentages of parent referred - accepted vs. parent referred - not accepted, are not published for some reason and I've never seen the raw numbers published so people with basic math skills could figure it out. Transparency is not an FCPS core value...

The other common lie is that anyone who complains gets her kid in.

Oak Hill ES is an AAP Center. They show their stats on the front page of their website. Scroll all the way to the bottom for the links.

The point is you can't relate it to a center school because you are bringing in AAP students from MANY different schools to join in at Oak Hill. The question is how many Oak Hill students alone got into AAP?

And at our Vienna center school, about 7-10 kids per second grade class were accepted. So clearly, I'm not 100% wrong.

School name?

Not the PP but SVES had 11 selected from 3 classes of 2d graders (~75 kids). Right near 15%.

There was once a table floating around showing acceptance by school. Maybe it's still available under fcps.edu boarddocs link or somewhere else.
There is another, a bit cumbersome way to work it out. I once did it for our school but didn't care enough to run comparisons. You choose any school profile from fcps.edu and click on Membership. From there, membership history, school level. Gives you stats for all elementaries. Look up the number of third-graders. The grade column gives you the number in gen ed; aap is all lumped together in another column. Then compare this to the number of second-graders the year before. You'll be able to work out the percentage yourself. Of course, if you hold an advanced degree in statistics, you can also work in the students who have left or joined for other reasons.

School name?

Colvin Run. And again, these were second graders, so Colvin Run base school kids. Ridiculous.

You claim that from Colvin Run alone, 7-10 kids out of every second grade class every year on avg, and not as an anomoly in a single year, kids are admitted? I call b.s. Beyond b.s.
