[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want an idea of whether your child will qualify for AAP have him/her take the WISC IV.  If your kid scores high - I think this means about 135+ - then it will be easy to get into AAP.

FWIW, I have one kid in AAP and yes it was easy for him to test in (we moved him from private).  My 2nd kid would struggle in AAP, and I doubt he could test in anyway.

I disagree with some of the statements above regarding bad test scores not resulting in a bad school - this depends on your child.  If you have a middle-of-the road kid (like my kid no. 2), a poor-performing school is not going to ensure the child's success.  Yes, this is my personal experience and not a generalization.  We moved to ensure my middle kid would be in a great public school - best thing we could have ever done for him.[/quote]

Our kids are young and have never been tested for anything yet.

We are going to try out public school and reevaluate our housing and private school options when the time comes. As of now, DH and I are enjoying our short commutes to work and the friends we have made in our immediate area.[/quote]
