[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that AAP students skip one level of math. But has anyone heard of an elementary student skipping two levels of math?  For example, a fourth grader who is in an fifth grade Advanced math class and thus is taking sixth grade math. DC says there is a student who is from a lower grade level that attends DC's AAP class for math.  I thought grade-skipping was not allowed in FCPS, so I wonder if this an ad hoc case or a 2e case or something else.  The school certainly doesn't advertise this pathway as a possibility.

Thanks. [/quote]

OP - Thanks - so it sounds like FCPS definitely allows kids to skip math levels. I wonder if that's parent-driven or school driven.  I assumed that the AAP track was the most advanced track available until middle school, but it looks like I'm mistaken. I also don't want to rock the boat (e.g. be one of those parents who yell at the AART for not recognizing their DC's abilities).

If you look at the Virginia team for 2019 Mathcounts: https://www.mathcounts.org/sites/default/files/2019%20National%20Competitors_2.pdf

you can see that there's an FCPS elementary school student on there. I wonder if Westbriar Elementary facilitated that student's math education, or if he had to to sit through math classes that were certainly covering concepts he already knew.

To skip levels it requires some ability but mostly parental push.[/quote]
