[quote=Anonymous]I find it sad that so many from our school don't even consider staying for Level IV at our school.  There is a dedicated local level IV class with a really good 3rd and 4th grade teacher - the 4th grade teacher is the best teacher I have ever come across. (Unfortunately there has been turnover with 5th  and 6th over the last few years.)

Many kids from our school are found eligible for level IV services every year - it was 29 (prior to appeals) two years ago and I believe close to 40 last year.  Yet when it comes to the orientation, certain communities only go for the center orientation and don't even consider staying at our base school.  This is a great school and their children really enjoy it from K-2.  It's prior Principal was even the Principal of the Year.  Honestly, with so many kids qualifying, there really is no need to go to the Center.   This school does really good work in its Level IV classrooms - I have compared with another center and our PTA President has brought many new extracurricular activities to our school.  As a result of the deluge into the center, the center is 120 kids overpopulated this year.

I am from one of the above mentioned communities.  It is sad that people don't even want to give our school a chance once their kids get into AAP.  (DC stayed at base and one woman rolled her eyes when I told her that was the plan.)  Perhaps schools that do have local level IV's shouldn't have the choice of leaving?[/quote]
