[quote=Anonymous]If you look at the total enrollment county wide, there are something 18% of the kids in AAP. At some schools it can be much higher. (25%+ admitted). Remember, there is a genetic component to intelligence, and the DC area has more advanced degree's per capita than any other region of the country. That probably means more smart people, which would mean more smart children. Also, smart people tend to value education more than typical people. One thing to consider is AAP does not cost significantly more per kid than general education. The only extra cost is transportation. My opinion is any kid that can handle the load should be given the opportunity. However, if a kid can not keep up with the depth or pace, there should be a way to place them back in general ed.[/quote]
