[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Way too time consuming, which means that it would be costly.

At our ES, Teachers encouraged parents to apply if they thought AAP was needed and the kid had not been placed in the program. This is pretty much what Principal Placement is supposed to do. If your child is placed in the LLIV class by the Principal, then I would apply for the program. Or if a Teacher encouraged me, I would apply.

I do think that there should be guidelines for dropping kids, something like kids need to pass advanced on the SOL, maintain a 95th percentile on iReady/MAP, and have mostly 4s on their report card. But that would cause parents to lose their minds so it won’t happen. [/quote]

Eh my kid has been all over the board on iready over the elementary years in a different school system (from the 60th to 99th percentile), but absolutely thrived after being placed in AAP this year. Last year, consistently declined on iready from sept to June, then popped back up to high 90s on the fall iready. He actually took the COGAT twice within 6 months (tested before FCPS and they didn't know so retested when he switched in) and math percentile changed from 80th to 99th. [/quote]
