[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow y'all.

We moved here last year from Edmond, OK, and people really need to take a step back and realize Fairfax County is no different than many, many other areas that have pockets of well-educated, relatively affluent populations. (Sorry, but it's true.)  Fairfax has a very unusual delivery model with AAP that is not a reflection of how many "brilliant" kids that are here or that they have unusual needs vs. kids across the country, but because it has morphed into a behemoth to accommodate pushy parents.

In Edmond more than 30% of the school population is identified as gifted. The in-school services are superb.

Don't you get that is the complaint here:  too easy to get into!  Edmund has 30% in it because a 97% on the NNAT or two sections of the CogAT are a basis for automatic admission.  Here, you'd need a 98% To be automatically CONSIDERED in the possible pool of applicants.[/quote]

And Edmund serves them in school.  That's the point. [/quote]

And so does fcps.  Our level three and advanced math combination are very good for kids like my bright non center kid.

I can't help but think how nasty, insulting and disparaging these kinds of anti AAP threads are towards the many amazing base schools and non AAP teachers and the birght or even average kids throughout fcps.[/quote]
