[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spoke with another family who have a child in the program as well as children not in it and they were less than impressed. They acknowledged that the math was more advanced, but did not find the center's treatment of the other core subjects to be overwhelming, and actually thought that the education their non-AAP kids got was comparable.

Just curious as to whether others had qualified, but elected not to go.[/quote]

It all depends upon your school options. I suggest speaking to parents of 3rd graders and, if you can, parents of 6th graders at each of the schools. It has been my personal experience that [b]the wide differential between AAP and general ed really shows up at the end of elementary school (in 6th grade).[/b]

You can always elect to defer AAP placement until middle school.[/quote]

+1   Which is one of the reasons why allowing marginal candidates in at low grades but having no reapplication in middle school is screwed up.[/quote]
