[quote=Anonymous][quote=whatshername]What is the difference between a base school and a center school?  Is a base school where they have regular and advanced classes, and a center school where they only have advanced classes?

Thanks so much![/quote]

Technically, the school you're zoned for is your base school.  On this forum, though, people usually use "base school" to refer to schools that don't have a LIV program.  There are actually 3 different types of schools in FCPS:  
-Center schools, which will bus kids in from neighboring schools for AAP and often have as many or more AAP classes than gen ed classes.
-Local Level IV schools, which usually have only one AAP classroom per grade level and will often have bright non-AAP kids placed in the AAP classroom.  If your base school has a Local Level IV, then if your child is accepted for AAP, you can choose either the local program or the designated AAP center.
-Schools with no Level IV.  If your child gets accepted into AAP, that child can attend the designated center.  [/quote]
