I also heard that APS elementary school teams won first place in the Virginia Science Olympiad, defeating teams from FCPS. These may indicate APS does not always fail gifted kids in ES? You may want to reach out to your school to explore available opportunities.

Yes after school enrichment run by parent volunteers in the most educated county in America do well. That’s great.

Showcasing some artists is awesome but the winners are learning skills outside of the collage making APS classes

So they have a nifty newsletter? So is there one per grade or is it one for Kinder thru 5th? We are a gifted family at Taylor, I’ve never seen this, and there have been two of them. Are they just handed out to keep gifted kids entertained or is some instruction and discussion fostered?  I have no fault with the teachers or the AAC teacher; they are given an impossible task — but true differentiation is very difficult and not incentivized at APS.

I’m curious, are there metrics that AAP is expected to meet above SOL scores?[/quote]

We are at Taylor.  How many of each class do you think is gifted?  80%?[/quote]

The dashboard says 170 out of 531 for 23-24, it doesn’t break them out by grade but you can assume there are more by percentage in the higher grades since a lot are IDed in 1st and 2nd grade. [/quote]
