This.  Just make sure your son doesn't get an attitude from being in AAP.  He will enjoy the more challenging classwork and better opportunities.  He'll still see his other friends at recess, in specials, and in the neighborhood.  Unless there's only like 1 gen ed class at your center, his friend group will likely be spread among several other classes in gen ed anyway.  In your case, there isn't really a downside to accepting the AAP spot.

Thanks.. I am so glad that he gets to stay in the same school. Otherwise, I would be more prone to declining. After we talked, he is actually happy to try it. He says that his friends will always be his friends and do live in the same neighborhood as well.  The challenge will actually come at Middle school when we will need to choose between the local school and Carson. I do hope maybe more of his friends get in by then, but kids are adaptable. Hopefully, will make new friends. Lol. I WISH my son had a little more attitude!!! He has so little in any situation regardless of how great he does that I am afraid of him getting stomped on. He is that kid who just can’t ever be mean…no matter what anyone says to him. That’s actually why I worry for him more. He told me the AAP kids DO have attitude, so I just hope he will be able to adapt and also be a little stronger on his own. Maybe this will be a good thing for his own confidence… [/quote]
