[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish they could have taken maybe one quarter Of the pages, time, and other resources devoted to equity in AAP to just evaluate AAP. Is the program successful? Is it helpful or serving needs? How inconsistent is it? How does it compare to gen ed? We can make changes to who gets in or how, but that is not very meaningful without some of that information.[/quote]

I wish all schools were equal in what they offer but we know that's not true. AAP will be different, too, depending on where you go if they change the entrance scores based on location.[/quote]

It makes sense for this to be the case.  AAP is supposed to meet the needs of kids who can't have their needs met in a regular classroom in their regular school.  In a high FARMs school, the kid with a 120 IQ who is mildly advanced might be an outlier who needs to be grouped with other bright kids.  In McLean, half of the grade might have 120 IQs and be mildly advanced.  Their needs would be met in a regular classroom in their school.  In schools like that, the IQ 130+ kids who are several years above grade level are the ones who need an AAP program that isn't diluted by garden variety bright kids.  [/quote]

Maybe. However, there are center that do not necessarily match demographics of feeder bases, as well perhaps as bases that send more or less eligible kids to centers. The only way to know or draw conclusions would be to look into it. [/quote]
