[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know the answer to this, but if you want your child to stay at the center, you should [b]pick the subject your child is strong in, ask to keep him/her in AAP for that, and see if he/she can take honors or regular for the others.[/b]  I would think the school would be flexible, but your child might need at least one AAP class to stay at the center.[/quote]

At Kilmer I was told that it was all AAP or none. My DD struggled with 7th grade AAP and extra-curriculars and I was hoping that for 8th grade next year she could choose 1-2 AAP inher strongest subjects and do Honors in the rest. But since they do the AAP student's schedule around each other, the counselor said she would have to enroll in all Honors.

Good news is, so far this last quarter she has As and B+ in all subjects. I am thinking AAP is where she belongs, and the issue with first 3 quarters was the transition. (Her grades were okay... "barely B's" in classes where she was capable of making As)[/quote]

This is the case for AAP. You cannot pick and choose which subjects to take in the AAP curriculum. However, keep in mind that math is the exception. Kids do not have to be in AAP to be in compacted/advanced math and vice versa.  In the middle school AAP centers, not all 7th graders are in at least Hn Algebra. Some AAP 7th graders can take Hn Math 7 but are still AAP for their other core classes. [/quote]
