[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - this is not true.  My DS is in 4th grade in the AAP program (Level IV) at Chesterbrook.  Kids who do not test into Level IV at Chesterbrook can take up to 3 out of the 4 AAP classes (math, science, social studies, and language arts) if they test into the class based on ability.  This is not true at AAP centers (I don't know about other Local Level IV programs).  Chesterbrooks' AAP program is run by a woman who used to run the program at Churchill.  She has been vocal in her belief that the Chesterbrook AAP model is better for all students, but I know some people disagree.  I love the program as while I have one kid that tested into the Level IV program,  I have 2 other kids behind him who may not qualify for Level IV but who may excel at one or more subjects.  FWIW, we LOVE Chesterbrook.  If you are considering moving to the school district I recommend you take a tour and meet the principle.  He's exceptional - the teachers are happy and loyal, there is a very involved parent population, and a fantastic PTA (all money raised is poured back into the school - and they raise 4x more than our old private school).[/quote]

Thanks for the information, PP.  We saw two houses we like, one feeds into Haycock and one is in Chesterbrook.  The flexibility of AAP program in Chesterbrook will swing our decision for the Chesterbrook house.  Thank you so much!![/quote]
