Instead, all the AAP students who are found eligible for Level 4 services and who remain at Flint Hill, would be distributed across all the 4 3rd grade sections. AAP students would be brought together for Math and Language arts only.
They would use this model for 3rd grade this coming fall and in following years the same model would be used for 4th, 5th and 6th grades.
To me this looks like dumbing down of the AAP program. We were originally planning to stay at Flint Hill, but with this change, I am not sure if Flint Hill program would be even close to the AAP program at the center school.
This is the impression I got after hearing the presentation and I could be wrong in this assessment. Please share your thoughts on this.
Thank you
But, can’t schools also effectively close the achievement gap by taking down the top performers, rather than bringing up the lowest performers?
Wouldn’t both approaches lead to equity?
