[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Similar to previous posters, children identified as receiving Level IV AAP at Chesterbrook have their homeroom and specials classes with a mixed gen ed and AAP student bases. However, Level IV kids will have four subjects in AAP and those classes may be exclusively Level IV or also have some Level III or otherwise identified advanced kids in them.

[u]If your child is advanced but not Level IV, it is possible, based on class size, that your child could be placed in a subject (say, math) with AAP one year and then the following year may not be in that AAP class if the AAP class is full. This has happened in the past, as more people enter AAP in grades 4-6. Therefore, the inclusion of kids who were previously taking AAP math, but who were not identified as AAP may need to move out due to overcrowding in the classroom. [/u]

Classes like PE, Chinese, etc. are with the homeroom class, not the AAP class.

When the AAP notices come out, some Level IV kids (unscientifically, about 5) choose to go to Haycock. The rest of the AAP kids receive full-time AAP classes at Chesterbrook. The difference between AAP at Chesterbrook and AAP at Haycock is that all classes at Haycock would be with AAP students, whereas only the four core subjects at Chesterbrook would be with AAP students (see above - Chinese, art, PE, etc. are not exclusively with AAP students).

The AART at Chesterbrook is fantastic. I encourage you to talk with her if you have any questions. She's a great resource. [/quote]

that alone is reason to avoid the school if your child isnt in AAP [/quote]

Or simply buy a private diagnosis that identifies them as Level IV.[/quote]
