| Hi ladies. I appealed last Friday the AAP decision not to admit my son. A mom told me anyone who appeals gets in. Is that true? |

| No it is something like 40% appeals get in |

Yes it is true.
Or at least, the ones who successfully appeal get in. |

So that would be a "no. not true." |

| I think the "successful appeal" percentage is more like 85%. FCPS doesn't really want to fight with parents on this. |

| All these guesses, is there a place to find stats to answer this |

| The WP article claims "1,737 second-graders admitted through the appeals process" but I have no idea what percentage that is of the appeals. |

Only of you submit sufficient evidence that your child really needs AAP! Rest is just rumors from ill-informed parent. |

1,737 second-graders admitted through the appeals process over the last decade, big difference

WOW so only 137 kids a year. That seems small to me! Clearly you don't get in just because you appeal. |

sorry 173.7 kids a year. Typo! |

| Is there any info on how many kids get in per year or anything? To put that decades stat in any useful context? Obviously it is what it is, but one can’t help but be curious. |

| Ok, so around 50% makes sense. This year might be even less if they are looking for even higher scores. |

You think only 346 2nd graders each year appeal? In a district as large as FCPS? |
