[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoreau is not an AAP Center like Jackson or Kilmer so the core courses at Thoreau are not "AAP" in any official sense.  I understand that Thoreau groups Level IV-eligible students together in some classes, but it still is not an AAP Center, which may explain some of the ambiguity in the forms.  AAP students with Thoreau as their base school have the option to attend the well-established AAP Center at Jackson if they are looking for strong AAP instruction in their core courses, as well as a large AAP peer group.[/quote]

The nomenclature is largely a fig leaf to maintain the fiction that the AAP center at Jackson will be vibrant after FCPS redistricted many of the higher-income neighborhoods zoned for Jackson to Thoreau. Most expect the LLIV program at Thoreau to grow in size and prestige, which is exactly what you’d expect when you move wealthier students to one school and concentrate poverty at another.[/quote]

Which is why it was a stupid decision on top of letting Thoreau have their own AAP center. The AAP center was put at Jackson to lift up the school. Only this board would decide to both redistrict the wealthy out of Jackson and dilute the center with the LLIV program at Thoreau all while saying they support lower income families. They are such hypocrites.[/quote]
