[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent our child to the AAP School and we are very glad that we did.  Actually, I think that our child's base school may have better teachers but the AAP school definitely has a more eclectic ("nerdy..."), culturally and ethnically diverse group of students.   Also since there are more students (4 home room classes at our child's school) our child's classmates changes each year.  At a base school your child will likely be with the same students each year.  This good for developing close friendships I imagine but also can get your child pigeonholed as the the math wiz, the quiet one, class cutup, etc.  Since our child’s classmates changes a bit each year there is perhaps a bit less of a chance for being stereotyped in that way or becoming stuck in one clique or another.

DC may go to the same school. Sounds similar. There were some "mean girls" in the class last year, but now they've been dispersed to different classes, so yes, I can see the benefits of changing the class composition each year, but not all the AAP centers have 4 classes in the same grade do they?
