[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]

The only place this makes sense generally is where the SES of the local school exceeds that of the center and there's sufficient educational peers staying local.  For example, I've heard people make similar claims when contemplating Navy vs Crossfield, where Crossfield neighborhoods are similar or higher priced than most Navy ones.  I'm sure the equivalent is true in some Langley areas as well.[/quote]
