[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the answer to your question, but as the parent of a Latino kid at a Level IV center, I can tell you that a lot of the base schools aren't  encouraging their brightest URM students to apply if they just missed the cutoff. Yes, AAP centers know that certain races are over-represented by comparison to the makeup of FCPS as a whole and they're probably looking to diversify, but they can't do that unless they put a full time AART in every school, and the base schools desperately want those kids' test scores to boost their numbers. I bet schools in diverse neighborhoods that have full time AARTs and LLIV programs have a pretty good mix of students. The schools that have anemic Level III services and no LLIV are in no way trying to get their URM students to go to the centers. There have been AARTs and other parents on this forum before who have discussed this.[/quote]
This has been our experience as well. If anything, speaking Spanish decreases your chances of getting into AAP.[/quote]
