[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The size of the school will not increase. It means that students there will have the opportunity to stay to receive level IV services. Some people will tell you those schools aren't "as good" as level IV schools that children move to, but they are incorrect. Local level IV at your school is a good thing.

I don't think you can say that as a blanket statement.  It really depends on the school.  At some schools, the families really like and prefer LLIV.  At other schools, it's no where near as good as the center option.  You need to check it out at your school and make the decision that's best for your child.[/quote]

This is definitely true.  We moved from AAP at a Center school last year (it was our base school) to a new house in the neighboring school with LLIV and I have been surprised to hear our child express concern that the kids at the LLIV school were more advanced than the classmates he had last year.  I would have thought it would have been the other way around.  I noticed a considerable increase in homework at the LLIV school versus the Center school (again surprising, and more than I would have expected in just moving up a grade -- and other parents have told me the kids had a similar amount of homework last year, which is way more than he had in his Center school).[/quote]
