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.

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.

I have a Carson AAP kid so I know exactly how it works. There are lots of AAP teams there and they mix in math, PE, and electives (including world language). They also mix during panther time and lunch/recess. There were lots of chances to mix with other AAP kids not on your core team. My child has made so many new AAP friends at Carson.

I suppose my priorities are different than yours. I want my child to interact with other children, regardless if they are AAP or not.

While I want my.child in AAP courses for core subjects, for those are the appropriate academic placement, I couldn't care less whether the other children with whom my child has electives, lunch, Panther Time, and recess are AAP or not.

And that’s why parents get to choose what’s best for their kids. You can choose the center or the base school. For my kid it’s best they are surrounded with more similar peers. I supposed that also is probably why some parents want TJ as well. Sure there are advanced kids at their base high school, but they want a whole school filled with advanced kids.

Good luck in life!

In the "real world" people have different races, cultures, genders, religions, backgrounds, levels of education, intelligence levels, etc. Your desire to have your child surrounded by "similar peers" even at lunch and during Panther Time is not helping your child to learn about and appreciate the differences in people.

Aah....FCPS parents at their finest. I don't even wish them luck anymore. Hope teachers are reading this so they know what schools to avoid.

But, if you are high performer, or work STEM job, most people will be similiar level of education and interest. You will have high income to get away from problem. Yes occaionsally, have to work with people of entirely differnet background like the repair person or lawn cutting man. But, you can socialize and work with the peer.

College time very nice because everybody very smart, and liking the same movie game, and quoting same movie. Everyone understood.

Oh my.

You're right, everyone of similar intelligence likes and has seen the same movies.

You're right, work is the only place you interact with other people.

You're right, everyone with a high level of education works in STEAM.

Unbelievable.

If Franklin had a formal AAP program, Navy kids would no worse off going there than Carson. It's just turned into a status thing to say your kid is in AAP at Carson or Rocky Run and has found their "tribe" there, as if they'd fall apart if they were exposed to slightly more non-AAP kids during the day at a different middle school.

Franklin does have an AAP program but most Navy kids choose the center.

There's no good reason to keep giving them a choice that other Gen Ed and AAP students don't have.

They have a very good AAP program at Franklin. I think it's been there for 10-12 years.

And the vast majority of those people were not "advanced" in school, they were just normal. Sorry, sweetie pie.

Do you have a AAP kid? Maybe you’d feel differently if that were the case. The AAP parents want centers and they’ve been around for over 50 years. It’s not going to change.

DP. I have three children in AAP. I think middle school centers should be dismantled. There is no need for them in middle school.

AAP Parent who stayed at the base school and think Centers can go away at ES and MS. They are not needed.

Well too bad TPTB don’t agree. Otherwise they would be dismantled.

FCPS pulled kids out of Rocky Run and moved them to AAP at Johnson. They pulled kids out of Longfellow and Kilmer and sent them to AAP at Cooper.

But for some reason Carson gets treated differently even though Franklin surely could do a good job for the AAP kids within its boundaries.

And then they all end up at different high schools. How did that work out for your kid?
