[quote=Anonymous]I'd go with what his teachers decide and take it from there without getting caught up in levels. If you feel a change is needed as time passes, perhaps you can share your test information with the teacher.  From my son's experience at a very good, now AAP center school, Level III can be inconsistent, depending on the availability of the AART.    This is something that FCPS has plans to address (as of the latest AAP study), but at this how much enrichment kids get in Levels II and III is kind of random.  By 6th grade my son and his friends often chose to skip their Level III pull-outs because they didn't like the teacher and they didn't enjoy the material.  ( I didn't learn this till later).

I should point out that my son took all honors in middle school and almost got straight A's.  Next year he'll be taking classes with AAP kids in high school (there are no AAP only courses there) and I'm sure he'll do fine. How intense your classes are in grade school should not be a show stopper as long as learning is encouraged at home.  [/quote]
