[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it normally full and does it travel all over the area to pick up kids? Full size bus?[/quote]

I am not sure what the benefit is of going to a center if you have local AAP.  It's not like the teachers are better.[/quote]

If your local AAP is doing the stupid cluster model and 30% of the class is below grade level, you should put your kid at the center. Anyone who says otherwise isn't speaking from experience.[/quote]
The poster you are responding to is likely the one that goes from post to post to say she hates AAP and doesn't see the need for it. From the sound of her posts, her kid didn't get in. She really hates centers.[/quote]

I don't hate AAP.  My kid went through AAP and he had some friends do local AAP and others go to center.  The center was crowded and local was not.  The center was a bunch of new kids, the local was not.  The academic results all seemed about the same.  I didn't notice a difference in admissions to TJ or where they went to college.  Maybe it was just my pyramid.  [/quote]

For every anecdotal example, there's an opposite.  Its truly school specific, so don't take my anecdotal example too seriously either.  Our center has a much lower student/teacher ratio than the LLIV (18 vs 26).  Our center just finished renovations, while the local school is just starting and using trailers giving a crowded appearance.  Our center has a much better SOL testing results than our Local school.  90% of the eligible students at the local school transferred to the center, so there were plenty of old friends, and plenty of new people to integrate with.  (this larger multiple classes is primarily drove our decision - the local school would have a single class with little variation for 4 years).[/quote]
