As I wait for my child’s results, out of curiosity, I looked in the school directories to see how many 2016-17 2nd graders went on to AAP this year in 3rd and it was 32% of the grade. This really surprises me. I feel like it hurts the truly gifted that are leaps and bounds above their peers and it hurts the gen ed classes because it seems like you are basically taking out all of the high academically motivated children. No wonder why so many parents push so hard for AAP when over 32% of the grade gets into it. I understand it is not a “gifted program” but geez- 32% of a second grade class was determined to need an advanced program? Interesting.
I totally get what you said! When my daughter was in 1st grade, I thought that only 1% of the kids go to AAP, so I was convinced the only super smart kids go. I have learned I was wrong because there are over 30% kids in our base school go to AAP center as well. This does cause many parents push their children to get in since 30% is a lot easier to achieve than 1%.
