[quote=Anonymous]Interesting.  I know this won't be a popular argument here, but I could see the argument that "marginal" kids from lower performing schools need AAP more than "marginal" kids from high performing schools.

For example, take a kid who scores 130.  A kid at a school where 130 is one of the highest scores in the school is probably not going to be challenged at the base school, whereas a kid who scores 130 and there are 20 kids who scored higher (and presumably a bunch right around 130 and just below that probably wouldn't go either), probably will be challenged because he will have more of a cohort at the base school.

I could see FCPS, as a policy matter, deciding that they will give an advantage to kids from the lower performing school because they don't have as much opportunity at their home school.  In lower income schools, the PTA doesn't raise as much money so they won't have as many of the extras, etc.

Like I said, I'm sure people here would hate the idea, but I could see it happening.[/quote]
