[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new Local Level IV programs are rolled out starting with third grade only. My so deferred AAP placement to stay at the base school. He is in fourth grade. There is now a third grade LLIV but there is nothing for fourth grade. I would imagine that the centers will see a drop in numbers as more base schools add LLIV and parents can choose to stay at the base school. Essentially, the Center schools will start to see the number of kids attending their program shrink.[/quote]

I dunno. All the schools that go to our center have had LL4 for years. People are still sending to center. Waste of resources. [/quote]

Depends on the feeder school. There are people who use AAP to leave the school they are in. They don’t like the school and apply and appeal in order to get to the Center because they see it as a better school.

Our Center school only has two feeders and neither send many kids to the Center. Our school has Advanced Math starting in 3rd. The other feeder school has Local Level IV. The Center ends up with enough kids for 1 AAP class per grade. I also know that kids return from the Center because the kids at the Center school tend not to socialize a ton and the kids want to be back with their friends. It is not going to help that our school just started LLIV so that the few kids who went to the Center have less incentive to go.

I am guessing that Center is going to go away on its own as it is. [/quote]

I am PP whose center school takes kids from all feeder schools with LL4. We have had many kids come back in 5th/6th grade because of the environment. I truly don’t get why parents think center schools are superior. You can gave inexperienced or untrained teachers in both scenarios. At our school, all of our teachers are trained and have been in the position for many years. [/quote]
