[quote=Anonymous]There are a few things that are somewhat unique to FCPS.

I think what you need to know is that starting in third grade, some schools have local Level IV AAP and some schools don't, and also some schools contain a Level IV center.  Everyone who is admitted has the option to attend a Level IV AAP Center.  Those with local Level IV at their base school have two choices - stay at their base school for local level IV or go to the center.  If your school doesn't have local level IV, then it's likely that a small portion (around 10-15% of the second grade class) - will leave to go to the Level IV Center starting 3rd grade. If your school has local level IV, it probably varies whether admitted kids stay at base or go to the center.

Level IV is essentially full time AAP.  If your child is not in Level IV AAP they could be eligible for Level III and/or theoretically the highest reading group or an advanced math group.  I think it varies by school how this all works.

I really have no familiarity with Level II.
At the base school in my neighborhood - Level III is an enrichment pullout with the AART once a week, starting in third grade.  Our base school does no pullouts prior to third grade.

I didn't know about AAP when we moved here - my kids were 3 and 1 at the time.  Our base does not have Local Level IV and now my oldest is at a Center (my younger ones are in K and preschool).  Sometimes I wish I knew about Local level IV before we moved here, so my kids could all be at the same school but overall it would have been way to soon to know about that, at the time we moved in.  And I am generally happy with the way things are now that I know more about it.  [/quote]
