[quote=Anonymous]There are AAP classes in MS. Students who are committee placed will have the choice of AAP courses or honors/gen ed courses. If you choose AAP all of your core classes are with AAP, except math. So AAP English, AAP Science, and AAP History. Math is determined by the SOL and IAAT scores. Kids will either take Algebra 1 H, with a pass advanced on the SOL and a 91st percentile with the IAAT, or Math 7 H.

Students cannot be Principal placed into the MS AAP classes. At least, that is what we are told and I have not heard of examples of Principal placed students in MS. Students who are committee placed can choose to attend their base MS or a center.

Different people will tell you that Honors classes are the same as AAP classes. Others will tell you that there is a difference. I think it depends on the school. I know that in History this year my son has had geography quizzes in his AAP class and his friends in honors have not. I don’t know if that is an AAP difference or his Teacher doing things a bit differently than another Teacher. I have not heard much from his friend’s parents about the other classes. I only know about the geography difference because his friends Mom commented that she was buying a specific board game which included a map of the US to help teach geography. I was surprised since my son had been learning US geography in History this year. [/quote]
