[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class makeup is different each school and each class year.  For example, our school had 11 IV kids accepted.  11 of them (including mine) opted for the center, leaving a sole IV qualified student in the local school, filled out with other (still highly qualified) students.  The year before, the "popular" kid in the class decided to stay, so about half+ of the class was level IV.

In middle school, AAP is generally a separate class, or they can still opt for the center middle school if desired.  You'll have an option for open enrollment into an honors version of some subjects (math), which will go at ~the same pace as AAP, but will be filled with gen Ed students.  Not sure if this is typical of every school or not.[/quote]

So if my child is Principal Placed for 4-6, in middle school, they won't be allowed to take AAP, they will have to take Honors, which is the same curriculum? Including advanced math? I Just want to make sure that after three years of accelerated math, they're not being sent down to repeat what they learned in 6th for math.[/quote]
There is no AAP math.  AAP kids take AAP classes for English, Science, and History.  Non AAP kids can choose to take Honors English, Science, and History.  At some schools, there is no difference between the two.  Math is completely separate from AAP in middle school.  [/quote]

This. I had one in AAP and one in standard honors classes in MS. Math (7H) was exactly the same. Social Studies had one main extension project in AAP (which I found no value in and my standard kid ended up doing in an elective class anyway!) while science and English were fairly similar. They then went on to take almost all the same classes in HS. It levels out. [/quote]
