[quote=Anonymous]DC is a rising kindergartener and we are still figuring out where we'll move and where he'll go to school. I'm very interested in AAP and I am wondering what to expect if he ends up at a school that is not a center, local level IV, higher SES. The school we're thinking about has about 20% of kids in AAP (part-time or full). I hear folks on this forum saying gen ed is essentially the same as AAP at higher SES schools and I know that is unlikely, but this school seems to do well over all. A concern is peer group. While I don't want DC in a school that is hyper-focused on competition and achievement-based social comparison, I also don't really want an environment where many parents aren't too interested in their kids' academic success. Maybe I'm wrong but if it's a higher SES school and there's not much level 2/3 participation, that seems a bit worrisome to me. [/quote]
