[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got in, but no way would I send them to our Center school. Local level IV is not an option for us either. We’ll stay at the base and supplement outside of school. [/quote]

why not?[/quote]

One of my children attended our Center for a while and opted to return to the base school. The bus ride was very LONG, fellow students were overly competitive and egotistical, and it wasn’t a good experience. It wasn’t that the work was too hard or the pace too fast, but the school culture was a bad fit. My child was much happier after leaving. Knowing what I know, I opted out for my other kids.

I also didn’t like that the AAP Center was basically segregated. The AAP kids were mostly white or Asian higher-income kids, while the rest of the students were mainly FARMS. I’m sure the Center was put there to boost test scores, but the groups did not mix at all. It struck me as wrong. I would hate to have a gen-ed student at that school because I know they felt like second-class citizens.[/quote]
