[quote=Anonymous]Don't think the answers to date are quite accurate.  AAP is indeed the acronym for Advanced Academic Program in Fairfax - also referred to as "Level IV" services.  About 10% of Fairfax elementary students are in the AAP program, although you'd think the percentage was far higher from this forum (where the posters consist largely of those whose kids are in the AAP program or very much want their kids accepted into the program).  Franklin Sherman, a wonderful school, does not have its own AAP program.  Kids assigned to Sherman who test into AAP go to Haycock ES in Falls Church instead.

It's not a "two-track" system at the elementary level.   Fairfax has other advanced programs (Level II and III programs), in addition to the Level 1 general education services, for elementary students.  Some students at Sherman are in the Level II/III program, though the general education enrollment is larger.  It seems to work reasonably well.   Parents who don't like the idea of differentiated instruction, or worry about the possibility that their children may not get into the AAP program, might be happier in another jurisdiction like Arlington.
