[quote=Anonymous]As the title says, we are considering a move to FCPS from ACPS for 6th grade and I’m wondering how that would work if kiddo is in Advanced Academic Services for all subjects at his current school. I don't think FCPS considers it the equivalent of level iv, because we only have pullout for math and language arts. Science and history are (in theory) differentiated in the regular classroom. Would he have to test into AAP (and how?)? Is it even worth it in 6th grade, or are there honors classes that essentially do the same thing? Kiddo is highly intelligent, but is a bit weaker in language arts than in other subjects. He deals with mild anxiety and does not always test well, though he knows his stuff. I want him to have access to whatever cool math/science programs are available (and to kids with similar interests/academic leanings) but he can take a little while to make new friends so disrupting him multiple times for placement changes is not ideal. Our move would be end of summer, so really close to start of school year. I’d appreciate any thoughts.[/quote]
