[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else out there think it it inappropriate that only some students are offered this option?[/quote]

Every student is given this option to be evaluated.  Very few qualify.

The students are evaluated for math placement when they enter the center class in third grade.  The ones that are far above the rest are moved up a grade that year.

My child transferred in during fourth grade.  My child was evaluated in math to be moved up a grade with these kids, as were the other students who transferred to AAP in fourth grade.  I think one of the kids qualified.  My child was not one of these kids.

My child's friends transferred to AAP in fifth grade, a couple from out of state and a couple who recently qualified for AAP from the base school.  Those kids were evaluated when the school year started and were not ready to go up a grade.

I don't think they evaluated them this year in sixth as they would have had to already taken the Iowa in order to go into the seventh grade class.  Whether or not they did, no kids were added to the group of the most advanced math students.
