AAP Committee is smart enough to identify kids who just got score but can not sit quietly to listen and follow for 20 mins in the class room. It is not just about the score but overall kids behavior in the class, ability to learn new things and adapt with class teachers and peers.

I am this parent. I am not happy my child wasn't admitted, but I don't know the deciding factor(s) and we are going to appeal.

I have read on here the lower scores, and part of me thinks Huh? but I know this is NOT a competitive process. There are not a fixed amount of seats, which would mean for every child who got in it lessened my child's chance.

I think it's wise to use this thread as a source of information, and not to question whether any given child deserved a spot or was seemingly more qualified than yours.

You are going to be very disappointed if you think AAP is a quiet, well behaved class of kids who know how to sit and be quiet.

AAP classes are generally full of high strung, hyperactive, busy, fidgiting, emotional and energetic kids. Many of the highest performing kids are also 2E which brings another set of challenge to the AAP classroom.

If you want the studious, well behaved, quiet, teacher pleaser classrooms, AAP is probably not for you or your child.

THIS. With 2nd child's 3rd grade AAP class, it seemed like 1/2 of the class were 2e, and had an iep. Lots of behavioral issues for the teacher to deal with.

WF. Did your mail come today yet? It came today, as well as a separate letter from the Center inviting us to orientation. I accidentally opened that one up first, which was kind of odd.

Thank you for so beautifully describing my kids so well!
