[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS attends a FCPS AAP center school. In general, the GE kids are much better at sports. If you use making the all star team as a metric, AAP kids usually do not make the all star team. Some AAP kids do, but they are the small minority.

At the travel sports level, I also don't see many AAP kids. Some of this is because they are not good, and some because the parents don't emphasize sports. The AAP kids spend their free time on scence olympiad, music lessons, and tutoring.

It is a joke in my son's league that his school rarely produces any good players due to school being a center school.

The TJ bumper sticker that says they came for the sports is a joke on this same subject - most of the sports teams are not as good as the local public schools. [/quote]

If AAP kids are about 7-10% of the school population, why should you see them in over abundancy in sports?

In center schools on my side of town, AAP classes are the majority. The only kids from the school that make the all star teams are from the GE minority. [/quote]
