[quote=Anonymous][quote]But you see, all is NOT well. These kids may be out of sight out of mind to those at the base school, but not so much for those of us whose base school is the center. We're the ones having to put up with the massive amounts of kids coming every year for AAP. Enough already. [/quote]

I don't know about your school, but at our center with the exception of the current fourth grade class where the feeder schools sent entire classes of 20-30 kids to the center, usually the feeder schools send between 6-12 kids per grade to the center.  Sometimes more, sometimes less.

The vast majority of kids at our level IV center school are actually kids who live in the immediate neighborhood and are zoned for the center school, whether or not they are AAP or not.

Their parents either anticipated that their child would be placed in AAP, coincidentally got placed in AAP, or hoped they would be in AAP and bought houses in the center zones specifically for the center.

With the exception of that one crazy year when so many more kids than normal qualified for AAP, there are not "massive amounts of kids coming every year for AAP".

The kids are already at the school as their base school because their parents bought houses in the center zone specifically for the AAP center.[/quote]
