[quote=Anonymous]The impression I'm getting as a FCPS AAP parent is that Nysmith is both a better environment for highly gifted kids and is a dumping ground for AAP rejects. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. The biggest gripe I have with AAP is that it's very rigid with almost no latitude for kids who are well above grade level to meet their potential. The classes are too big and the schools don't have the financial resources to deliver individualized education to anyone. Since Nysmith has much smaller class sizes and very flexible leveling for students, it's more likely to meet both the exceptionally advanced learners and the kids who couldn't get into AAP at their own levels.
