[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  We are in the same boat as OP.  My DD received 99 percentile on Nnat, 99 percentile on COGAT and 99 percentile on WISC. Grbs of 15.  We showed well rounded athletic abilities as she is involved on multiple sports, piano etc.. creative writing, language and math samples.  We also applied from private school.  I called my local aap and was told they dont know what happened, they dont make decisions.

OP what is your AAP school?

Other kids got in with lower scores from my school.  My school administator called the main ASP administrator and was told scores and selections are based on which ES you are applying to.  Some schools are very over crowded.  They listed my school as being one of the ones they are cutting slots on this year along with a few others.  [/quote]

[b]There is no cap on the number of kids accepted to AAP.

Sports have no correlation to bitterness and have no bearing on an AAP application.

+1, If school has more AAP kids they will open new class.

The problem is finding teachers for AAP classes.  You can't put most of the teachers in Gen ed in AAP classes without training and that can't happen overnight.  Many teachers are not interested in teaching AAP classes because of the commitment to get certified for the next several years.  To keep existing teachers hired in their school, they want to ensure the balance between Gen ed and AAP classes and not too many AAP classes.[/quote]

Agreed.  This is why FCPS central committee will have to consider which school your child goes to when they determine an eligibility for AAP even if they don't or can't say it.  In some schools, they retain many AAP teachers or Ged Ed teachers who are willing to take on challenges (I wouldn't name the schools or zip code but I'm sure many of you have an idea), but this is the dilemma that the majority of the school administrators have.[/quote]
