[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello... I have a first grader. I have been reading about AAP and NNAT and COGAT and Level 3, 4 etc. What are these levels? 
At what grade do kids start AAP and do they have to change schools?? 
Can someone please explain to me all that is involved in this process? My child is at FCPS and I am new to the American school system. 
Thank you. [/quote]

You’ll get a good amount of info by looking at the FCPS AAP website, I would google that.

Essentially, the Advanced Academic Program (AAP) is meant to provide services to children in ES and MS who need to be challenged more then they are in the regular classroom. Kids can start to receive LII services as early as Kindergarten. These differ from school to school but normally are some type of additional worksheets or specialized groupings of kids who are ahead.

The main services kids receive start in 3rd grade for kids who are selected into LIII or LIV services. LIII services are supposed to be a weekly pull out that is an hour long and provides the kids in the group with some more challenging work or activities to complete.

LIV is the set of services that kids have to be selected into by a Central Committee. Kids selected into LIV services can choose to stay at their base school or move to a Center school. Most  ES have some type of local LIV program that might be a LIV class at the school with a combination of kids accepted into LIV that stayed at the base school and kids who are placed in the Advanced class. The Center school has classes that are only for kids selected into LIV and include kids from the Center school and other schools.

There is also Advanced Math. That can start in third grade or fifth grade, it depends on the school, and kids are selected by their school to be in that math grouping. Normally kids are placed in it due to some combination of iReady scores, grades, and SOL scores. [/quote]
