...If you are an underrepresented, non native speaker, that is the demographic that fcps said they are trying to bring into the fold, at the meetings last fall. The fact that your child is coming from a school with many esl students, and also many free/reduced lunch students might also help your child's case. I would also look into the data of how many kids at your school traditionally qualify for AAP, and include that in your packet. If your child scored so close to the cut off, but is from a demographic where few kids actually make it into AAP, then perhaps that shows that your child is at the top for children with similar language and socioeconomic issues, and will also demonstrate the challenges your child is facing, and the potential your child shows in spite of those challenges.

Good luck![/quote]

I read recently that FCPS has "promised" the state that they will increase ESOL & other minority students in AAP by 10%. Not quite sure how they can promise something that should be not in their control but there it is.[/quote]

Hi, original poster here, thanks for all the advise about the ESOL and other minority help.  We are immigrants to the U.S., about 6 years here.  We are Vietnamese and came here legally.  I understand there is not help for Asians as they are over represented and we are not a minority class status.  Not sure why as we came here legally for reasons of a political nature.[/quote]
