[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mark my words, FCPS will ultimately do away with the center model. They’re moving to local level IV in every elementary, that will serve the top 10% in each school.

Under the old model, almost no one from Title One schools was in-pool, which meant that smart kids with less involved parents and less enriching environments were falling through the cracks. [/quote]

We used to live in a high farms neighborhood and the school didn’t have enough kids to have an AAP class. The center school pulled from like 10 elementary and the AAP center was strong.

Dragging people down from the top won’t necessarily help the people at the bottom.[/quote]

The program is moving to support the top 10% at each school, that is not dragging people down. Kids at schools with higher scores have a solid group of kids for LIV as well as a higher scoring Gen Ed cohort, the kids will be fine. The top 10% at the Title I schools need the differentiation far more then the kids at a high SES school where most of the kids are on grade level or ahead. [/quote]
