[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school profiles will lump all of the K-2 kids into the denominator, making the percentage look lower than it actually is.

It's a few years old, but the AAP equity report shows that around 16% of 2nd graders are admitted, and that 19% of all kids 3rd-8th are centrally designated as eligible, with an extra 7% either being principal placed or taking 4 Honors in middle school.

This is a good point.  Level IV AAP is only grades 3-6, so you want to figure out the total number of Level IV AAP kids and divide it by the total number of kids in grades 3-6.  [/quote]

Like if you look at Colvin Run, it says 23.16% of the school is Level IV AAP.  But if you run the numbers, Level IV AAP makes up around 38.6% of students in grades 3-6.

For center schools, the percentage says 34-35% but that means in grades 3–6, about 50% is Level IV AAP.

This shouldn’t be confused with admissions rates.[/quote]

At our center school (before and after the rollout of universal LLIV), grades K-2 have 3 classes per grade (some years 4 and occasionally 2) and grades 3-6 have 6 classes per grade of 3 general and 3 AAP (some years 7 total classes per grade and occasionally 5 total per grade).  Then some posters will interpret that to mean that 50% of kids are in AAP - but our center school draws from 4-6 other elementary schools.  [/quote]
