I currently have 2 kids at navy but not familiar with Waples mill, only know it’s also at a good school district based on its location.

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.

You're so jealous it hurts.

My children are in AAP, dummy.

I would think an AAP mom would have more klass than nickname (sweetie, dummy) to every insult. Watch out, your MAGA hat is showing.

Says the lady who uses "Klass" and then just decides saying something super cliche like "MAGA hat is showing" is an insult to something that is not even remotely political.

I have no skin in this game, my children are not at Navy, we're zoned to Carson as our base middle school, so the Franklin/Carson choice is not an issue for us, but I do think it's silly that they have AAP Centers in middle school when children switch for every class, so only AAP kids are going to be in AAP classes anyway, unlike in elementary when kids can be principal placed.

There are kids at Carson who are not AAP that are in different sections. AAP designation means the kids won’t be in class with them. That is what the AAP parents want.

And that is how AAP works in a LLIV middle school, too, PP.

Yes of course, but there are far less AAP students at a LLIV middle school vs. a center AAP middle school. The only AAP students at a LLIV school will come from kids already zoned to go there. Less chance to meet new people if you are in AAP. Center middle schools have the majority of AAP kids come from all different schools which makes for a lot nicer environment and allows kids to meet more people.

What on earth are you taking about? Regardless of whether students go to Carson or Franklin, they will have classes with the same number of other students. Because middle schools do "teams," they will inevitably have at least two classes with a good number of the same students.

My kid who went through AAP at Franklin had classes with students who came from Brookfield, Lees Corner, Oak Hill, Waples Mill, Hunters Woods, and Navy. That allowed them to meet a lot of new people.

Are you dense? There are still way more AAP kids overall at a center school than at a LLIV school.

Franklin doesn’t even have teams.

The local Level IV AAP program is much smaller at Franklin. There aren’t as many AAP students overall there. I believe it’s one set of teachers for AAP in 7th. Whereas at Carson, which is a center, has multiple teams of AAP kids. The majority of teachers teach AAP there. And the majority of the student population at a Carson is AAP.

Yes, it does. 7A, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B, 8C.

Obviously. But that doesn't mean that your kid will interact with all those students. I don't think you understand the way FCPS middle schools work.

My Carson AAP kid was in English, science, and social studies with the exact same cohort of students. Her cousin, my nephew, was also AAP at the same time and had core classes with an entirely different cohort of students. Our next door neighbor, also AAP, had the same experience. There was ZERO "mixing" of those cohorts. If they weren't on the same team, they didn't have core classes together. Electives, of course, were different because there were both AAP and general education students in those classes.

That is true. Having sent kids through both Franklin AAP and Carson AAP, I have feelings about both approaches and both schools. I sincerely appreciated that I knew which science, English, and social studies teachers my child would have at Franklin and because they were all stellar teachers, I was thrilled with the education and experience my child had.

I don't think you are understanding what I'm trying to say. For one thing, if there were no AAP centers, then all of the current LLIV middle schools would have more AAP children. Second, only their core classes are AAP, they can meet kids in all of their other classes - that's one great benefit of middle school, they switch classes for every class.
