Or send your AAP student to Franklin for their excellent AAP program. Having sent kids to both Carson and Franklin, I was much more impressed with the AAP program at Franklin. It may not have as many students go to TJ, but it's a fantastic program.

How is the Franklin AAP program better than Carson?

Our experience was that Franklin offered more individualized projects based on each student's interests regarding a topic, which is something gifted kids often crave. They were also a nurturing environment, did a lot of cross curriculum projects and assignments, and were experienced with gifted education and gifted learners. We also appreciated that we knew who our child's core teachers would be because there is only one set of teachers for each grade who teach AAP. It seemed like they were all outstanding teachers as well.

LOL AAP is not a gifted program, sweetie pie.

Sort of. True that most AAP students are not gifted, but that is where gifted students go,.

Can someone please explain to me why Carson is an option when Franklin has AAP?

Carson is the center school for AAP. It has many kids from different schools attending for AAP. Kids in Level IV can always choose a center for AAP. However, Franklin has a local level IV program. Kids that normally attend Franklin in boundary may choose to do AAP at their base school instead (which would be Franklin). How do you not know this?

How are you such a raging B___??


Why on earth does FCPS even have AAP Centers in middle school? It is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Children switch classes for every subject, a center is not necessary. SO STUPID. Just makes ho-bags like PP feel superior.

Just because you are completely ignorant on the workings on AAP center schools vs local level ones does not make me a “raging b….”

+1 and the parents with truly gifted kids appreciate teachers that know how to teach gifted children. AAP is just semantics.

Navy has a problem with the AAP vs gen Ed. The AAP kids are most likely told by their parents that they are better than the non-aap kids. I know this because after 3rd grade they have mixed specials and the AAP kids gloat that they are superior since they are in AAP. They take opportunities to put down and degrade the other kids in classes such as spanish an ART. The school needs to deal with this, it's not acceptable and also a reason why non-aap parents dislike AAP parents.

Maybe more than that.

Navys demographics are split. The AAP cohort doesn't look much like the pbl kids. For example in my kids AAP class there are only 2 white kids.

I do not thinking 25% of students are gifted. Above average? Yes.

Maybe 2-5% gifted.

It’s not just Navy! My Title 1 school has been like this for years with regard to AAP. It’s disheartening. And I can tell you this, their pass rate on SOLs is not much higher than gen ed which has all the ESOL kiddos and special education students factored in. (An ESOL student or twice exceptional is rare in AAP at my school.)

I’ll say this: Gen Ed at Navy is getting worse. There are some scary kids. Think rooms having to be evacuated.

That's only because of a kid has a tantrum they can't touch them to take them out of the class so instead everyone else has to leave. That is an FCPS rule. Is this 3rd?

Unfortunately I think this is the case at all AAP Centers and even many schools with LLIV. We've been in two different LLIV ES' and both of them have had really cliquey AAP groups.
