[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these boards stresses me out. DH and I both ivy league educated and our kids are 3 and 5. My oldest child will be starting kindergarten next month. He is a bright curious kid. We know a lot of smart kids so I don't think my kid is a genius or anything.

What exactly is required to gain acceptance into AAP?

We are zoned in an average/below average elementary school and holding off on moving until we see if DS gets in AAP. The AAP center is excellent and only 1 mile away from us. If our kids get into AAP and can stay on this AAP/honors track, we plan to stay in our house.

Right now, FCPS takes a "whole child" approach in screening a child for AAP, so it's hard to say what "exactly is required to gain acceptance into AAP". Some people agree with that approach, some people think it should be based on hard and fast numbers like test scores or IQ.

Rather than relying on opinion and anecdotal evidence from anonymous strangers, you should look at the Parent Information Packet on the FCPS AAP web site - http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/identification/currentfcps.shtml

Then, if you have specific questions or if there's something you really don't understand, post the question here.

You'll still get biased answers, but at least then you'll understand what the biases are.
