[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a school with three classes per grade and one is an AAP class. If its true that only 10% of the kids in a school are AAP, then does that mean 2/3 of the kids in the LLIV class are principal placed, and if so how do they justify keeping those same 15-20 kids in that class for four years and not giving other kids a chance?[/quote] Around 20% of the FCPS population is admitted into AAP. Principal placement happens on an annual basis, so the kids selected in 3rd grade won't necessarily be principal placed in 4th. Placement the next year will depend on classroom performance, end of year tests, SOL scores, etc. At many schools, principal placement is subject based, such that the kids who are strong in language arts but weaker in math will be placed in the LLIV classroom for AAP language arts, but then switch classes for math. Other kids who are strong at math but average in language arts will switch into the AAP classroom for math. [/quote]
