[quote=Anonymous]My family moved to FCPS from out of state last summer.  In May, I contacted our future elementary school and completed its new student registration packet (this packet is completely separate from AAP application), which resulted in assignment of a FCPS student ID#.  I was told by the school that a student ID# was needed to request the Level IV placement (full-time AAP services).

In early July, I submitted a Level IV summer placement email to the FCPS AAP program with various attachments that I compiled (report cards, WISC-V, NNAT3, CogAT, math placement tests from home school district, work samples). There was no AAP "packet" to complete. About 3 weeks later I was notified that she was admitted to the Level IV program.

My daughter was a couple of years accelerated in math in her prior district, which tested her math ability in the spring of 5th grade and placed her in an accelerated Algebra I Honors class for 6th grade.  I shared those test results and placement with FCPS AAP, but my daughter still ended up in pre-algebra (Level IV 6th grade math). I share that only to say that you should not expect an individualized math assessment/ placement.  In my experience, the options were Level IV math or not Level IV math, rather than individual evaluation of appropriate math placement. That was a difference from our prior school district (and disappointing for my daughter who loves math).

Good luck with your move!  [/quote]
