You're thinking of AAP (Advanced Academic Program), which has its own section in the Forum Index. In FCPS students are tested in 2nd for 3rd grade placement, so you have time to learn more about it. Level III would usually mean they get pulled out of class for extra enrichment maybe once a week. Local level IV means they stay at their base (i.e. neighborhood) school but are placed in a class where most (sometimes all?) of the other students are also in the advanced program. Then there are Level IV centers, where all the AAP students are in class together with less mixing. If your neighborhood school is not an AAP center and your child tests in, then you'd have to decide if you want to bus your child to a different elementary for the center or keep them at the base school. AAP also exists at the middle school level, but not high school.
TJ is the science and technology magnet school for Ffx County, and yes, kids have to test into it.
For high school you could search IB vs.AP although that's a long way off for you.[/quote]
