[quote=Anonymous][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.

What’s your research to support this? Or is this just you opining on a Saturday morning? [/quote]

I don’t think it is fair to have a high cut off in a school like McLean or Oakton and let lesser kids in in Annandale or Alexandria. While it is fine to offer more spots to kids who normally would not be in pool in high FARMs school, I don’t think it is right to cut a kid in McLean with higher scores. [/quote]
