[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of kids in FCPS elementary schools are in the AAP program?
(also, is it listed by school?)[/quote]

Approximately 16.6% of the total FCPS population in grades 3?8 are receiving Level IV Center services, part of the AAP continuum of services.

No, it is not listed by school. You can use the School Profiles portion of the FCPS website to get a better sense of how many students are in Level IV services in each school, but the "demographics" tab aggregates students differently from school to school based on how "Advanced Academics - Level IV" is defined.

As an example, if you look at Wolftrap ES which is not a Level IV Center school, you'll find 119 Advanced Academics - Level IV students in the 2011-2012 school year. Many of these students are Level IV Center eligible but chose to remain at the base school. Others are not Center eligible but were placed in the Local Level IV classroom by the principal.

As another example, if you look at Cooper MS (which is also not a Level IV Center school), you'll find 122 (or 14.73%)  students counted as Advanced Academics - Level IV.  Compare that number and percentage to Poe MS (which is also not a Level IV Center school), where you'll find 178 (or 16.23%) students counted as Advanced Academics - Level IV. Starting last school year, FCPS began counting students that took all Honors classes the same as students in Level IV AAP Centers.
