[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in 7th grade. She attended local level IV AAP at a school DCUM would probably frown at due to GS scores. I was concerned that she would drown at her AAP center MS but I am actually surprised.  She has def. has more work and it seems like there is a in depth learning going on but she has all A's and even straight 100s in classes.  She is smart but not a genius. It seems like the ES teachers were harsher graders.  Is this normal? Has AAP in MS prepared your kids for HS? I also heard that 7th is easy and they ramp it up in 8th grade.  I am also concerned about her sibling who is level 3/principal placed and so will take honors classes vs. AAP in MS.  Do those classes prepare them well? I am more concerned about them being prepared for HS than MS grades. [/quote]

I'd be more worried about the principal placed kid depending on the middle school. Going from a room that is relatively on task and controlled to a ged ed classroom (even if it is honors) can be hard. [/quote]

Principal Placed kids will not take AAP in MS. Only kids who are placed by the Central Committee[/quote]

Sorry, misread the original comment. Principal Placed kids will most likely take Honors classes. Parents can always apply for LIV in 6th grade so their kids can take AAP classes in MS.[/quote]
