[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot boils down to the peer group and the school. A school with 2 or more classes per grade of AAP Center eligible students is much different from a school with a single class per grade with a small number of AAP Center eligible students. Critical mass is important.[/quote]

SOOOO tired of hearing about "critical mass!"  Kids can thrive in a center OR in a LLIV, with 2 classes per grade OR just one OR even with just a few other Level IV peers in a mixed classroom.  If you have a good teacher who can differentiate and a school administration who supports AAP, your kid will be fine.

While all 5 of my own kids qualified, I had one who remained in gen-ed for social reasons, 3 who did the center and 1 who did LLIV.  So far, all of them are on track to take AP courses in HS, get into good colleges with academic merit aid and be productive members of society who love the work they do.  I promise that choosing local or center will not ruin your child for life! :mrgreen:   [/quote]
