| A lot of people have reported here that their AAP children scored with approaching grade level or on grade level. |
Same here.. I am not worried on what this means. I know they did well enough. The tests that matter are 4th and 5th grade SOLs (if child is advanced will be grouped with advanced AAp kids). Iowa test matters - that is 6th grade. |
My gen ed kid scored on grade level on iready...does that mean he should also be in AAP?!
|
The entire class whipped out their scores and compared them?
Do you think your child is reading at 3 years above grade level? |
Apparently. If you assume people are truthful on dcum: a lot of AAP kids are at or below grade level on iready, and they didn't manage to get pass advanced on their SOLs, but they still totally need to be separated from the gen ed kids.

ZAAP curriculum is yrar or two ahead of the Gen. Ed. |
I don't think so but I guess they were handed out in folders and the kids compared. My DC is actually about 3 years ahead in reading it has always been his area of strength. There are a handful of kids in a similar position in his class. They are all instructed at one year ahead in math and most are avid readers. Is this really surprising? I would think the child at AAP center who test at or below (again unless there are 2x exceptional issues) would be the exception. |
| We have not gotten the winter iReady scores back yet. |
From what I can ascertain from my student's class/friends (4th grade), many tested on Mid-4 or Late 4, with a handful of Early 5. |
AAP or gen ed? |
Sorry, AAP |
+1 same here, don't understand why this is a surprise to some. |
I agree, except a PP stated that in her child's AAP class, most of the kids were on-grade level (mid 4th or late 4th for a 4th grade class). It makes me wonder whether on-grade level or below grade level AAP students are much more common than they ought to be. |
It’s very common now. That’s why so many parents want their kids in now. They see that really anybody can do well in the program if they have the work ethic. Basically, AAP is tracking kids. Why wouldn’t everybody want to get on that track? |
