[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is going to differ based on the individual school's vision and leadership.  Here is what I can offer about DC's experience:

-How do the cohorts work in the LLIV? Are there specific core courses that are only for AAP kids? Is it AAP English (is this different from Honors English)? Does Honors = AAP? 
  [i]All students in the program are found eligible for LLIV services. (In our experience, this upset some parents of principal placed students who thought their kids should be able to stay in the program.) Students are in LLIV-specific classes for English, history, and science; math is based on placement and, for DC, was a mix of LLIV students and others. The classes are coded as "Honors" on the report card, but the instruction is different from that in the honors courses. Older DC went through a few years ago in gen ed and honors classes and had a very different experience than younger DC is having now. At our school, the LLIV classes also have a cross-curricular component. [/i]

-If your middle school is turning into a center, how long has your middle school had LLIV? Wondering how long it takes from building a LLIV to becoming a center.  
[i]This is year three.[/i]

-Did your middle school add more offerings for after school activities when it started the LLIV program? 
 [i]Yes. More competitions and tech clubs. Older DC was involved in the after school program and it had much to offer then, but there is more now. The principal said they would bring what the students/community wanted, and IMO, they have.[/i]
