[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP parent here (LLIV thankfully, so we never had to consider changing schools).

My main issue with the application process (in 2019 anyway) was that the letter of recommendation couldn't come from a FCPS employee. So that's a huge advantage for families that can afford private music lessons, etc. And then getting this person to write the letter is a blatant conflict of interest - you're paying them to work with your kid, and even if you don't say the quiet part out loud, they are clearly motivated to write lots of nice things so they will continue getting paid.[/quote]

You didn't have to provide a letter of recommendation, you could choose to. And the letter of recommendation is no longer allowed. Parents cannot provide a list of awards and the like either. Parents have to fill out the referral form if they want to guarantee that their child is considered. Parents can choose to answer the questionnaire, provide 2 work samples, and include outside testing if they have any. [/quote]
