[quote=Anonymous]It is Fairfax County's gifted program. There are levels ranging from pull-out services in subjects where the kid is strong, up to full time programs at schools that have been designated AAP centers. On DCUM, "AAP" mostly refers to the full time program. Full time AAP at a school that is not an AAP center is called Local Level IV. Kids take a test in second grade and AAP starts in third. In general, AAP classes are larger and require more independent work. Every elementary and middle school in FCPS either is an AAP center or has another school in the pyramid designated for AAP students to attend. For example, my in-bounds elementary is an AAP center but our in-bounds middle offers only Local Level IV, so if my middle school student is in AAP we can opt to send her to a different nearby middle school that is a center.[/quote]
