[quote=Anonymous]OP. FCPS schools would be uneven in this under AAP until third grade. Completely up to the principal. Your kid should get Level II AAP services in 1-2.  But what that means varies.  Homefully pullouts for extra enrichment.  But that is not a given.

In 3rd grade, test score dependent, your kid should qualify for Level III services in Math, and formally be placed in an Advanced math class, tracked to start Algebra I in 7th, rather than 8th. That is everywhere.

If your kid also ends up with strong overall aptitude score, they would qualify for full-time level IV services, and be placed in the AAP classroom in your school, if there is one, or placed in the nearest AAP Center for full time advanced work in all subjects.  You would decide whether to keep them in AAP at their bae school or send them to the center.  Kids who place here are ultimately the core of the kids who apply to and attend TJ.

So, the answer is: not much formally in 1st, but very good service starting in 3rd. [/quote]
