[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moved here from out of state a few years ago. Didn't know about AAP but one child got in because had taken whatever IQ test FCPS uses in previous state for similar program, but declined placement until 7th grade so wouldn't have to change schools again right after relocating. (no AAP center at assigned ES) I also have much younger children and didn't realize what a big deal AAP seems to be around here. Not interested in prepping. Never have. Just wondering if AAP is a deal breaker or not for my younger kids when they get to HS in terms of being successful/prepared for honors/AP courses should they choose/want to take them.. [/quote]

The only place it matters is math. If a kid is more focused on humanities, it does not matter at all. If a kid can get advanced math placement without AAP, then also doesn't matter at all. It's just really hard to skip a year of math, so if they aren't in that AAP accelerated math, the highest math level will be closed to them. That being said, plenty of AAP-placed students aren't in Algebra in 7th, and same would be true for them.[/quote]
